Delivery is made with a flatbed truck, and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a forklift or an 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 the 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 B piling is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and pressure treated with CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate) at a retention level of .60 pounds per cubic foot. The piling is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States and manufactured to ASTM D25 standards.
Class B designation establishes the structural grade and dimensional requirements. This piling measures a minimum of 8 inches in diameter at the tip and 12 inches in diameter at a point 3 feet from the butt. Circumference minimums are 25 inches at the tip and 37 inches at the point 3 feet from the butt. Total weight falls in the 550 to 650 pound range.
Where This Product Fits Best
Class B pilings at 20 feet are sized for foundation, dock, pier, and structural support applications where moderate load-bearing capacity and ground penetration depth are required. The .60 CCA treatment level provides protection against decay and insect damage in ground contact and freshwater immersion conditions.
Southern Yellow Pine accepts pressure treatment effectively and provides consistent structural performance across the length of the piling. This species is commonly specified for marine, agricultural, and civil construction applications where treated wood pilings are appropriate.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The .60 CCA retention level is the standard treatment for this piling. Higher retention levels are available as optional treatments at .80, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.5 pounds per cubic foot for applications requiring greater chemical protection due to environmental exposure or regulatory requirements.
The dimensional minimums specified for Class B pilings ensure adequate cross-sectional area for load transfer and embedment. The taper from butt to tip is characteristic of natural wood pilings and affects driving behavior and load distribution once installed.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Pilings in this weight range require mechanical handling equipment for transport, positioning, and driving. The 550 to 650 pound weight is typical for a 20-foot Class B Southern Yellow Pine piling and should be accounted for in rigging and equipment planning.
CCA-treated pilings are manufactured to American Wood Preservers Association standards for long-term performance in treated wood applications. The preservative is fixed within the wood fibers during the pressure treatment process. Handling, cutting, and disposal of CCA-treated wood should follow applicable guidelines for treated lumber.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once driven, this piling functions as a permanent structural element. The 20-foot length allows for embedment depths and above-grade heights appropriate for small to mid-scale pier, dock, foundation, and retaining applications. Actual embedment and exposure will depend on soil conditions and structural engineering requirements.
The Class B rating provides load capacity suited for residential and light commercial structures. For heavier loads or longer spans, higher piling classes with larger diameters are typically specified. The optional higher CCA retention levels become relevant when the piling will be exposed to saltwater, brackish water, or other aggressive environments.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This piling is manufactured to ASTM D25 standards and treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards. CCA treatment requires awareness of proper handling procedures during installation and end-of-life disposal.
This product carries a 1-year warranty.
