Dock structure

A dock structure, comprising:

• a pair of laterally spaced-apart substantially-parallel longitudinally-extending aluminum side rails;
• a plurality of deck-forming aluminum members contacting and extending between said pair of side rails generally transverse thereto in spaced apart relation,
• each of said plurality of deck-forming members having at least one planar portion cooperating with the at least one planar portion of the others of said plurality of deck-forming members to provide a planar top surface which extends substantially the length of the side rails;
• snap fit means releasably interconnecting said side rails with each of said plurality of deck-forming members at the intersections thereof,
• at each said intersection, said snap fit means including a first part integral with said side rail and a second cooperating part integral with said deck-forming member;
• stop means located at each said intersection and preventing movement of each of said plurality of deck-forming members longitudinally thereof and transverse to said side rails while normally permitting movement of said pluralaity of deck-forming members out of contact with said side rails upon release of said snap fit means to allow disassembly of said dock structure,
• said stop means at each said intersection including cooperating elements integral with said side rail and integral with said deck-forming member;
• and
• a pair of aluminum bumper rails extending along each longitudinal side of the dock externally of said side rails and releasably connected thereto.
