Abstract:
A piling cover. The piling cover includes a body having a tubular cylindrical shape. The body is hollow and further includes an open bottom end leading into an internal compartment of the body. The body is made of a resilient and compressible material such that, upon impact the body deforms and then retains its original shape. The piling cover is placed over a piling of a dock and disperses energy when a boat hits the piling, thereby preventing damage to the boat.
