Q:Are these the regular duty or the heavy duty?

Answer This Question
A: If you bought these as a pair, chances are they are the regular duty brackets (model # A-50000-2 accommodating pipe with an O.D. of 1.66"). The heavy-duty brackets (model # TD-1000-3) use pipe with an O.D. of 1.9" and cost about $42.95 each. We use the heavy- duty brackets when we are building boardwalks for hiking trails with spans of 10' and using 2x10" PT dimensional lumber for stringers.

A: Yes, have three sections of Tommy dock , so I have two sets of them. You will need the corner peices for the end of the dock. They are very heavy duty and will last for a long time to come. Made a great dock!

A: I used these to join two wood sections can’t speak to the aluminum. If it were me I would look for a like material bracket. Steel and aluminum will corrode over time.

A: Yes, these are the correct in-line connectors for either wood or aluminum dock sections
by|May 5, 2023
A: Yes they are very simple to do.
by|May 5, 2023
A: Yes!
by|May 5, 2023
A: Yes. They will work perfectly with the aluminum sections or the cedar sections. Don’t forget to get the corner brackets, both “inside” and “outside” if you plan to add a right angle to the end of the straight walk out section.

All Tommy Dock brackets and hardware are top of the line. Excellent quality and super easy to use. Used these with the outside corner bracket, poles, and mud plates to build a 4'x10' dock on my lake in Iowa. Very solid dock, legs hold well and doesn't wobble at all. I'm already planning out my add ons for next year! And with these brackets, adding on and reconfiguring will be really easy too! Love this product, glad I ended up choosing these after doing a lot of research.

The parts we ordered are great. However, the issue was with Home Depot. I The website says 2 pack and we only received one. After a few phone calls we placed another order and again only received one. A few more calls later a credit was issued and we were charged the appropriate amount for the two we ended up receiving.Hopefully they have cleared up the issue in the warehouse so the customer gets the correct quantity.

The brackets were great but I had issues with other dock components. Mainly, the drilled holes in the aluminum frames were not made well. They had to be be drilled slightly larger, if not the bolts/nuts would become bound and strip. Extra hardware was included though. Also, some of the cedar planks were of poor quality (ie... too knotty, soft, or cracked). Customer service was great, replacing planks very quickly but they were too long and had to be cut on site. All in all nice dock.
