ABSTRACT:
An apparatus which utilizes precut, coated fiber canvases, vertical and horizontal support elements, multiple rotatable couplings and detachable shoe-like receptacles, together with lacing rope and other miscellaneous hardware, to provide a shelter for a boat secured in a floating dock. The modular structure and unique design of the apparatus permits it to be easily and quickly erected or dismantled, on site, using only a set of Allen Wrenches. Each of the partially preassembled vertical support elements is unfolded and reenforced on the site with a lateral support member and a pair of angular truss members. Multiple numbers of these vertical support elements are then interconnected by three precut horizontal truss members and two precut horizontal roof support members to produce whatever length of dock cover is required. Finally, the top canvas, the two side canvases and the front and rear canvases are lashed to the front and rear roof members, respectively, and to the two side horizontal members, with lacing rope, using a unique pattern of lacing.
