Dock Leveling

newbie · 03-26-2005, 05:01 PM

As the weather starts warming and I begin to think about the summer, I notice that my dock post have gotten slighly beat up this winter (out of level). I remember a neighbor describing a jack/leveler that affixed to the top of the post and had chains that wrapped under the deck bracket. Once in place, he said that you use a winch or crank and they crank together an voila, you have a level dock. I believe that he called it a farmers jack.

As I begin my search this spring, I haven't run into anyone that can help, so I am turning to the forum that has never let me down.

Any help or direction is always appreciated.
