Dock Assembly System

Overview of L) Piling Hoop & Roller Assembly.

We offer a complete line of rugged dock hardware for building a dock at your summer cabin or waterfront home. Designed primarily for noncommercial users, it’s sturdy enough for boat yards and smaller marinas. To help get you started, we offer a Planning Kit (See facing page) that’s filled with details about dock design and construction. Once you have a plan and materials list, we’ll supply the hardware and your local lumber yard can provide the wood.
