When attaching dock sections, leg
braces should always be used on the
leading edge of each dock section for
stability.
Where dock sections are attached, the
outer backer plate 87-122-F used for
the corner leg holder may simply be
replaced by the hinge connector
86-103-F as shown.

Squaring your Dock Structure
Check the squareness by measuring from corner to
corner of the frame in an “X” pattern as shown. The
measurement should be +/- 1/4” between each other. Lock
the framework into square by temporarily securing a piece
of lumber (Z) across one corner as shown above.

NOTE: consideration should be given to the
type of bottom the dock will be resting on.
Bottom Pads, 94-102-F are larger than the
Base Plate 86-102-F and therefore better for
soft or sandy bottoms where the dock structure
requires a more stable footing. Alternatively, if
necessary, the base plate may be fastened to a
concrete slab or footing if for additional
stability or in areas of strong currents or wave
action.

• Use hinge 86-103-F between dock
segments.
• Allow leg pipes to protrude below the bottom
pads by approximately 12” so they will
become embedded in the lake bed.
Adjust leg pipe holders on leg pipes to level

Tools Required for the average Dock Build
Drive leg pipes no less than 12” into lake bed,
24” if dock to be used for a boat mooring.
IMPORTANT TIPS
S
(excludes sizing/ cutting of structural wood members)
- Electric Drill
- 3/16” drill bit
- 3/8” drill bit or auger
- 3/8” drive Socket wrench set
- Wrench set
- #2 Robertson (square) bit drive for decking screws
- Pencil
- Measuring tape
- 2-1/2” hole saw (not required if mounting leg pipes on outer dock face)
Always use washer plates
(99-006-F), backer plate
(87-122-F) or mating hardware
components together.
Framework of the dock
structure should be
sandwiched between hardware
pieces at all joint locations as
shown. (sample only, other
configurations possible)

intended to be architectural drawings, and are not to be substituted for engineered drawings. Each is intended as a guideline ONL
accurate in all uses and applications. Individual dock structures may vary by necessity, preference or design. It may be necessary to vary the amount of materials listed in this guide depending on dock size,
material usage, necessity and/ or the severity of the conditions to which the dock structure is subjected to. All graphic illustrations are based on the use of conventional framework of 2” x 6” lumber and decking
lumber. Freeboard may be adjusted by using 2”x8” or 2”x10” lumber. Substitutions in lumber and hardware placement may effect floatation.
