20 Foot Piling | Class A | .60 CCA Treated | Southern Yellow Pine
This 20 foot Class A piling, made from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with .60 CCA preservative, is a strong choice for marine and structural projects requiring resistance to decay and insect damage. Its compliance with ASTM D25 and American Wood Preservers Association standards ensures reliable performance in demanding environments. The substantial size and weight support high load capacity, making it well suited for docks, piers, waterfront foundations, and shoreline stabilization in both saltwater and freshwater settings. Optional higher CCA treatments are available for sites with more aggressive exposure or where extended service life is needed.

Delivery is made with a flatbed truck and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a forklift or appropriate similar machine (customer supplied). Customer is responsible for any costs associated with delivery rescheduling because of improper scheduling or not having the proper offloading equipment available at the time of delivery.
Pricing: Does not include cost of shipping. Shipping is available to the lower 48 USA states. We can supply a budgetary shipping quote or a firm shipping quote that is good for 14 days to your delivery location.
Disclaimer: LED Lighting Supply is not responsible for improper loading (ie what is mounted to the piling), installation costs, or foundation design of piling. Dimensions and specifications of pilings are subject to change without notice but the tip and butt dimensions will always be within ASTM specifications. While our main product line is southern yellow pine, we at times are able to offer other species including douglas fir and red pine. All poles are treated with CCA unless specified otherwise. Our standard treatment is .60 pounds per cubic foot.
Please be advised that our wood pilings are covered solely by a 1-year workmanship warranty, which ensures that the pilings are free from defects from the manufacturing process, and structural integrity, for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from external factors, misuse, or normal wear and tear.

Product Overview
This 20 foot Class A piling is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with .60 CCA preservative. It is designed for structural use in marine and waterfront environments where resistance to decay and marine organisms is required. Typical installations include direct embedment for docks, piers, and other marine structures where wood pilings are standard practice.
The piling meets ASTM D25 and AWPA standards for dimensional consistency and preservative treatment. With a 20 foot length and a weight range of 600 to 800 lbs, it is suitable for medium-duty marine and architectural site construction where wood pilings are specified for load-bearing or foundational support.
Core Performance and Output
This piling provides structural support for marine and waterfront construction. The Class A rating ensures minimum top circumference and diameter for consistent load capacity. The .60 CCA treatment protects against rot, decay, and marine borer attack in saltwater and brackish environments.
Minimum top circumference is 28 inches, with a 9 inch minimum top outside diameter. At 3 feet from the butt, the piling maintains a minimum circumference of 44 inches and a 14 inch outside diameter. These dimensions support typical dock, pier, and boardwalk loads. Excessive lateral loads or unsupported spans may require closer spacing or higher class pilings.
Adjustability and Control Options
This piling is a fixed structural element with no integrated adjustability or control features. Length, diameter, and treatment level are set during manufacturing. Optional higher CCA treatments (.80, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.5 CCA) are available for increased preservative retention if required by site conditions or local code.
All adjustments to installation depth, embedment, or pile cap interface are determined during site layout and construction. No field-adjustable features are present.
Longevity and Reliability
The .60 CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to decay, fungi, and marine borers in most marine and waterfront environments. Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its strength and preservative absorption characteristics. Service life is dependent on site conditions, water exposure, and installation practices.
Routine inspection for mechanical damage and preservative integrity is recommended. Higher CCA treatments can be specified for harsher environments or extended service life requirements.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
Pilings are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Each piling is manufactured to ASTM D25 standards for dimensional uniformity and straightness. The wood is pressure treated to AWPA standards for marine use, ensuring deep preservative penetration.
Physical characteristics include a 20 foot length, 600?800 lb weight, and consistent diameter profile. The piling is intended for direct embedment and is compatible with standard pile caps, brackets, and marine hardware. Surface checking and minor splits are normal for treated wood pilings and do not affect structural performance.
Where This Product Fits Best
This piling is intended for structural use in marine and waterfront construction where wood pilings are required for foundational support. It is suitable for both new construction and repair of existing marine structures.
- marine structures
- dock structures
- pier construction
- waterfront structures
- marina construction
- coastal facility construction
- boardwalk structures
- mooring structures
CCA treatment and Southern Yellow Pine construction provide durability in wet, brackish, and saltwater environments. Not intended for use in environments requiring non-wood or non-CCA materials.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct embedment is the standard installation method. Pilings are typically driven or jetted into the substrate to the required depth based on load and soil conditions. Top diameter and straightness support secure attachment of pile caps and superstructure elements.
Long-term use depends on proper embedment, bracing, and periodic inspection for mechanical or biological degradation. Pilings should be installed with consideration for tidal range, ice movement, and vessel impact where applicable. Handling and installation require equipment suitable for 600?800 lb units.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
20 foot Class A pilings are commonly installed for docks, piers, and marina slips where medium-length piles are required for water depth and structural height. Typical spacing is determined by load requirements and superstructure design, often ranging from 6 to 12 feet on center.
Embedment depth is set by geotechnical conditions and local code. Higher load areas may require closer spacing or supplemental bracing. Increasing pile diameter or class can reduce the number of pilings needed but may increase handling and installation complexity.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This piling is manufactured to ASTM D25 standards and treated to AWPA requirements. The .60 CCA treatment is standard for marine use. Southern Yellow Pine is selected for structural integrity and preservative absorption.
Warranty is 1 year. Standard safety practices for handling, cutting, and installing treated wood apply. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow all local environmental and disposal regulations for treated wood products.
