ABSTRACT:
A dock kit to permit an owner to assemble or disassemble a dock comprising a dock post bracket for laterally inserting a dock post therein, a reversible cross-latch member for locking a dock post in the dock-post bracket with the reversible cross-latch member operable for engaging a dock-abutment bracket to support an adjacent dock section when the cross-latch member is located in one direction in the dock-post bracket and when reversed is usable as an end support for the dock-post bracket. The brackets provide both corner reinforcement for a dock-deck section as well as permitting a single dock post to support corners of adjacent dock-deck sections. A split foot pad permits adjustment of the depth the dock post extends into the soil. A hanger bracket permits one to support the corner of an adjacent dock-deck section without using an extra dock post.
