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 CCA Treated Southern Yellow Pine Piling is designed for structural use in marine and waterfront environments. It is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and treated to resist decay and marine borer attack. The piling meets ASTM D25 standards and is AWPA certified for use in demanding marine and architectural site conditions. Typical installations include direct embedment for docks, piers, and other waterfront structures where long-term durability is required.
With a 20-foot length and Class B rating, this piling is commonly specified for medium-duty marine construction and architectural site lighting support. The .60 CCA treatment provides protection for saltwater and brackish environments, supporting both structural and lighting applications along shorelines and waterfronts.
Core Performance and Output
This piling supports structural loads typical of dock, pier, and waterfront construction. The Class B designation and 550?650 lb weight provide a balance of strength and manageable handling for installation. Minimum top circumference is 25 inches, with a minimum 8-inch top outside diameter, ensuring compatibility with standard marine hardware and lighting pole adapters.
The .60 CCA treatment delivers resistance to decay, rot, and marine organisms. ASTM D25 compliance ensures dimensional and structural consistency. For higher exposure or longer service life, optional treatments up to 2.5 CCA are available. Excessive lateral loads or unsupported spans may require additional engineering review for safety and longevity.
Adjustability and Control Options
This piling is supplied as a solid, untreated wood member with no integrated adjustability or mechanical control features. All adjustments to height, embedment depth, or hardware mounting are determined during installation and site preparation.
Lighting or accessory mounting requires field-drilled holes or bracket installation. No pre-drilled options are included. Control of lighting or electrical systems mounted to the piling is managed separately from the piling itself.
Longevity and Reliability
The .60 CCA pressure treatment provides long-term resistance to decay, fungal attack, and marine borers in saltwater and brackish environments. Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its structural strength and treatment compatibility. AWPA certification and ASTM D25 compliance support consistent performance in marine and waterfront installations.
Service life is influenced by site conditions, exposure, and maintenance practices. Higher CCA treatments are available for increased longevity in aggressive environments. Periodic inspection is recommended to monitor for physical damage or excessive wear at the waterline.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This piling is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and pressure treated to .60 CCA as standard. The 20-foot length and Class B rating provide a balance of strength and manageable installation weight. Minimum top outside diameter is 8 inches, with a 12-inch diameter measured 3 feet from the butt, supporting a range of structural and lighting applications.
Each piling is produced in the United States and meets ASTM D25 standards for dimensional and quality control. The wood is treated to current AWPA standards, ensuring suitability for marine and waterfront use. Surface finish is natural wood, with no additional coatings applied.
Where This Product Fits Best
This piling is intended for structural use in marine and waterfront environments where resistance to decay and marine organisms is required. It is commonly used for new construction and replacement of pilings in docks, piers, and similar structures. The 20-foot length is suitable for medium-depth water installations and architectural site lighting support along shorelines.

The .60 CCA treatment and Southern Yellow Pine construction provide durability in saltwater, brackish, and freshwater environments. Direct embedment is standard, with no pre-installed hardware. Not intended for high-rise or heavy industrial applications without additional engineering review.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation is typically performed by direct embedment into the substrate, with depth determined by site conditions and structural requirements. Handling requires equipment suitable for 550?650 lb pilings. Field cutting or drilling should be minimized to preserve treatment integrity; if required, field-applied preservative is recommended for exposed surfaces.
Long-term use depends on site-specific exposure, waterline abrasion, and periodic inspection. Maintenance may include monitoring for physical damage, checking for signs of decay at the waterline, and ensuring hardware remains secure. Replacement intervals vary based on environmental aggressiveness and loading conditions.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
These pilings are most often installed at 8?12 foot embedment depths, depending on soil and load requirements. Spacing is determined by structural design, typically ranging from 6 to 12 feet on center for dock and pier construction. For lighting support, pilings are selected to match fixture weight and wind load requirements, with mounting brackets or adapters field-installed as needed.
Higher CCA treatments may be specified for installations in aggressive marine environments or where extended service life is required. Increased spacing can reduce material count but may require larger diameter or higher class pilings to maintain structural integrity.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This piling is AWPA certified and manufactured to ASTM D25 standards. The .60 CCA treatment meets current American Wood Preservers Association requirements for marine and waterfront use. No electrical or lighting certifications apply to the piling itself.
A 1-year warranty is provided on material and workmanship. Safety during installation requires proper lifting equipment and adherence to site-specific handling procedures. Field modifications should be performed in accordance with best practices for treated wood products.
