Since MAXUM mentioned about the wood getting old you may want to replace the wood with galvanized posts. Attach ta base to the bottom of post and use a post bracket that attachés to the dock. I had 5 sections where each section was attached to half of the post bracket. Used bolts to secure. Here's the benefit. Bought a mini come-a-long and you can raise or lower the dock from the dock. Attach one end to the top of post the other under the dock. I did this for 40 years before getting a lift dock. Bought it from Raise-A-Dock, why, he uses galvanized posts. If you have cross pieces you will have to undo before lifting.
