Well the Bloomington menards has dock supplies. Imagine that. I finally found someone who knew something about their stock (third person) and i was describing the sleeve bracket when he said "we've got something like that with our dock supplies".
Yep, they've got an end cap of dock supplies way in the back of the garden area. I don't know when I was last that surprised! They even have those screw things that fit on the bottom of the post. And they have 8 ft galv posts for 11 dollars. They also sell 8' sections of dock for $399. Won't be buying that of course but it was interesting to look at.
Who woulda thought. I know that menards inside out and never had seen this dock stuff.
Thanks for posting the pictures! I'm gonna have to look closer at those directions.
