Portable piling extender apparatus

A method for preventing a boat from being damaged by a piling during times of rising and falling water, comprising the steps of:

• attaching a piling attachment unit to the piling,
• placing ends of alignment connectors into the piling attachment unit, wherein the alignment connectors extend vertically upward above the piling attachment unit and the piling,
• locking the alignment connectors to the piling attachment unit,
• attaching a riser fence unit to the alignment connectors, whereby a portion of the riser fence unit extends vertically upward above the alignment connectors, the piling attachment unit, and the piling,
• locking the riser fence unit to the piling attachment unit, and
• permitting the boat to contact front surfaces of the piling attachment unit and the riser fence unit during rising and falling water.

A portable piling extender apparatus attached to a vertically extending piling that has a piling width, comprising:

• a piling attachment unit which includes a piling fence portion and a manually operable strap assembly connected to said piling fence portion, wherein said piling fence portion has a piling fence portion width, and wherein said piling fence portion width is less than the piling width, wherein said manually operable strap a assembly attaches said piling fence portion to the piling, and wherein rear faces of said piling fence portion are placed against the piling so that front faces of said piling fence portion face in a direction away from the vertically extending piling,
• a riser fence unit,
• alignment connectors for connecting said riser fence unit to said piling fence portion in an aligned orientation, such that portions of said alignment connectors and portions of said riser fence unit extend upward above the piling when said alignment connectors and said riser fence unit are connected to said piling fence portion, and
• alignment locks connected to said piling fence portion for locking said piling fence portion to said alignment connectors, and alignment locks connected to said riser fence unit for locking said riser fence unit to said alignment connectors, whereby said piling fence portion is locked to said riser fence unit by said alignment locks.

A portable piling extender apparatus, comprising:

• a vertically extending piling,
• a piling attachment unit which includes a piling fence portion and a manually operable strap assembly connected to said piling fence portion, wherein said piling attachment unit is. connected to said vertically extending piling, and wherein rear faces of said piling fence portion are placed against said vertically extending piling so that front faces of said piling fence portion face in a direction away from said vertically extending piling,
• a riser fence unit,
• alignment connectors for connecting said riser fence, unit to said piling fence portion in an aligned orientation, such that said riser fence unit extends vertically above said vertically extending piling when said riser fence unit is connected to said piling fence portion, wherein said alignment connectors are located behind the front faces of said piling fence portion and said riser fence unit, and
• alignment locks connected to said piling fence portion for locking said piling fence portion to said alignment connectors, and alignment locks connected to said riser fence unit for locking said riser fence unit to said alignment connectors, whereby said piling fence portion is locked to said riser fence unit by said alignment locks, with said riser fence unit extending vertically above said vertically extending piling, wherein said alignment locks are located behind the front faces of said piling fence portion and said riser fence unit.
