Dock Hardware
Inside Corner
(WH-IC) The inside corner, working opposite the outside corner, sandwiches the wood, keeping bolts from burying themselves in the wood. This corner gusset will give the dock a lot of strength and stability.
Outside Corner End
(WH-OCE) The outside corner end is used at the ends of dock, ends of fingers, or corners of swim platforms.
Angle
(WH-A) Angles are used with a Washer Plate (WH-W) to hold cross stringers to side stringers. These two pieces of steel sandwich the wood, creating a solid corner.
Washer Plate
(WH-W) The washer plate is used primarily with Angles (WH-A) and Cleat Angles (WH-CA). The plate has two square holes to keep the carriage bolts from turning when tightening them.
Backup Plate
(WH-B) Use the Backup Plate with our Single “T” Males (WH-SM) and Single “T” Females (WH-SF) for additional strength. They also keep the bolts from pulling through your wood.
Single "T" Male
(WH-SM) The Single “T” Male has one 5/8″ tab with a hole for a 3/4″ Connector Pin (B-PIN) and is used with a Single “T” Female (WH-SF) or Outside Corner Female (WH-OCF). The male and female singles can both be used to make finger attachments by bolting them to the side of a dock. They can also be used to make ramps by bolting them to seawalls.
Single "T" Female
(WH-SF) The Single “T” Female has two 1/2″ tabs with holes for a 3/4″ Connector Pin (B-PIN) and is used with a Single “T” Male (WH-SM)or Outside Corner Male (WH-OCM). The male and female singles can both be used to make finger attachments by bolting them to the side of a dock. They can also be used to make ramps by bolting them to seawalls.
Outside Corner Male
(WH-OCM) The Outside Corner Male has one 5/8″ tab with a hole for a 3/4″ Connector Pin (B-PIN). Use with an Outside Corner Female (WH-OCF) or with a Single “T” Female (WH-SF) at the corner of your dock to attach a finger or dock section.
Outside Corner Female
(WH-OCF) The Outside Corner Female has two 1/2″ tabs with holes for a 3/4″ Connector Pin (B-PIN). Use with an Outside Corner Male (WH-OCF) or with a Single “T” Male (WH-SF) at the corner of your dock to attach a finger or dock section.
Cleat Angle
(WH-CA) The cleat angle has slots that accommodate various cleat sizes. Bolt the cleat angle to the side stringer using a Washer Plate (WH-W). Then bolt the cleat through the deck into the cleat angle. This will ensure that the cleat will not pull out of the deck.
Splice Plates
(WH-SP) Our Splice Plates were designed to join two timbers together. One is used on each side. The bolt holes are drilled so that an angle and 1/ 1/2″ lumber can be added at the splice and end up at the end of the splice. Our Splice Plates are sold in pairs.
Outside Corner Female/Female
(WH-OCFF) Made to add a finger on the corner, and saves using a H-SM or H-SF.
