Abstract: A decking system comprised of decking panels and clips is provided. Each decking panels comprises a platform and downwardly-extending legs that rest on joists. Clips that clip onto the joists are inserted between adjacent decking panels and define a uniform gap between the panels. The clips further connect to the legs of the decking panels and hold the decking panels in place. Fasteners driven through the clips and into the joists rigidly affix the decking panels to the joists.
Abstract: A plurality of interlocking panels is provided. A panel assembly comprises a plurality of generally rectangular panel members assembled in interlocking relationship. Each panel member has a substantially flat planar main body and two side edges that interconnect with adjacent panel members. After the panels are interlocked together, the interlocking components on the inner walls of the side edges are covered by the smooth outer walls of the side edges. The panels may be used to fabricate a fence.

Abstract: A floating dock including many buoyant wharf modules having approximately the same exterior size and shape, as well as density properties, relative to a pile extending through a vertically extending passage in one of the modules. The passage has four straight walls defining a square in the horizontal plane. A roller is at each corner of the square. The roller which is normally spaced from the cylindrical pile, contacts the pile as the dock bobs. A bracket mounted on a carrier having fixed tabs encased in a concrete deck of the module can be moved to different radial positions relative to the center, vertical axis of the passage, to accommodate different diameter piles. A permanent mold form for the concrete includes the lips extending upwardly from the passage side walls and lips extending upwardly from exterior side walls of a closed shell having foam therein. The shell has a roof forming the permanent mold form floor. The roof extends between the lips.
Abstract: A pontoon for supporting a dock structure in the water includes a core member of buoyant material encased in a plastic closure member. Bottom and top walls of substantially the same dimensions are substantially parallel with each other and are interconnected by slightly rounded sidewalls. The thickness of the pontoon is substantially reduced with respect to its width. The core is advantageously made of extruded styrofoam and attached to the dock structure by through bolting.
