JYINCPED Dock Brackets for 2" ID Posts U-Shape Side Mount with Backer Plate, Rust‑Proof Iron

These dock post brackets are engineered to fasten to the side of wooden floating or stationary dock frames and guide the pole legs so the dock rises and lowers naturally. Built from thick iron with a rust‑proof baked finish, the components include backer plates, carriage bolts and set bolts so you get a complete mounting solution for 2" ID round dock posts.

How do these brackets fit and hold a dock post?

The U‑shape bracket accepts the dock post and compresses against it with two side set bolts that prevent lateral movement while still permitting vertical travel. The included 5" x 5" backer plate spreads load across the frame to limit wood compression.

• Bracket hole size: 2.12" x 2", compatible with 2" ID poles
• U bracket thickness: 0.425" for rigidity
• Backer plate thickness: 0.57" for frame protection
• Side set bolts let you snug the post without removing it

What are the durability and corrosion resistance features?

Each part is fabricated from substantial iron and finished with a rust‑proof baking coat to resist moisture, splashes and seasonal exposure. The bracket thicknesses are chosen to provide long‑term structural support under typical dock loads.

• Iron construction for high strength and impact resistance
• Baked corrosion‑resistant coating for outdoor longevity
• Solid backer plates reduce fastener pull‑through in wood frames

How easy is installation and adjustment?

Pre‑punched mounting holes line up with standard carriage bolts (hardware included) so you can fasten the bracket directly to timber frames. Once mounted, the shoulder nuts and set bolts allow quick height adjustments to let the dock float freely with changing water levels.

• Mount with four 3/8" carriage bolts per bracket (included)
• Pre‑drilled holes simplify alignment and reduce drilling time
• Set bolts allow tightening or loosening without removing the post

Which post sizes and dock types are compatible?

The bracket hole measures 2.12" x 2" to accommodate dock posts with a 2" internal diameter — the common 1.5" schedule 40 pipe has an actual O.D. close to 1 7/8" and fits well. These brackets work on floating docks, stationary piers and corner stabilizing applications where side mounting is required.

• Designed for 2" ID round dock posts (fits 1.5" schedule 40 O.D.)
• Suitable for wooden floating and stationary dock frames
• Can be mounted inside or outside the dock frame as needed

Who is this for: boat owners, marina managers, DIY dock builders and waterfront property owners who need a dependable, maintenance‑friendly bracket to secure dock legs while allowing vertical travel. If you want robust hardware that spreads load across the frame, resists corrosion, and installs with common fasteners, these JYINCPED dock brackets provide a practical, long‑lasting solution.
