ABSTRACT:
A dock shelter adapted for mounting to a wall about an opening in the wall includes a plurality of coupled outer panels comprised of molded plastic. The plastic outer panels include a pair of roof sections as well as left and right lateral sections each coupled to a respective distal end of a roof section. Each lateral section includes respective pairs of upper and lower side panels coupled together in a telescoping manner to allow the height of the dock shelter to be fixed as desired over a range of values. Similarly, the roof sections are coupled together by means of a center roof connector cap in a telescoping manner to allow for adjustment of the width of the dock shelter. The telescoping coupling arrangement between the various dock shelter structural members allows the dock shelter to be used with a wide range of wall opening sizes. The plastic outer panels are sturdy and weather-resistant and each includes an outer angle portion to which either a head curtain or a side curtain may be attached so as to form a weather resistant, leak proof, outer structure for the inner dock shelter components which include a metal support/reinforcing structure and a pair of bottom pad seals. The plastic outer panels, formed by rotational molding in a preferred embodiment, are inexpensively fabricated, lightweight yet strong, and easily assembled and installed.
