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 C piling is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and pressure treated with .60 CCA preservative. Designed for structural use in marine and waterfront environments, it meets ASTM D25 and AWPA standards for dimensional and treatment consistency. Typical installations include dock, pier, and marina construction where wood pilings are required for foundational support or architectural integration.
With a minimum top circumference of 19 inches and a 12-inch diameter three feet from the butt, this piling is suitable for medium-duty marine and site applications. The 20 foot length and 500?600 lb weight allow for handling with standard marine or construction equipment.
Core Performance and Output
This piling provides structural support for marine and waterfront construction. The Class C rating and .60 CCA treatment deliver resistance to decay, marine borers, and fungal attack in wet or brackish environments. The piling?s dimensions and weight support typical dock, pier, and boardwalk loads, with a minimum top diameter of 6 inches and a robust 12-inch diameter at the base section.
Performance is determined by soil conditions, embedment depth, and load requirements. Excessive lateral or point loading beyond standard marine structure design may require higher class or larger diameter pilings. For higher preservative retention, optional treatments up to 2.5 CCA are available.
Adjustability and Control Options
This piling is supplied as a fixed-dimension, debarked, and pressure-treated wood product. No integrated adjustability or mechanical control features are present. Field trimming or cutting is possible but may affect preservative coverage at cut ends, requiring field treatment to maintain protection.
Optional CCA treatment levels are available at time of order for increased preservative retention. No hardware or mounting accessories are included; all attachments and connections are field-specified based on project requirements.
Longevity and Reliability
The .60 CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to rot, decay, and marine organisms in typical marine and waterfront installations. Service life is influenced by site conditions, water salinity, and mechanical wear. Pilings installed in high-abrasion or high-salinity environments may require periodic inspection and maintenance.
Manufactured to ASTM D25 and AWPA standards, each piling is produced for dimensional consistency and treatment penetration. A 1-year warranty covers material and manufacturing defects under normal use.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
Constructed from Southern Yellow Pine, this piling is debarked and pressure treated for marine durability. The minimum top circumference is 19 inches, with a 6-inch top diameter and a 12-inch diameter three feet from the butt. Weight ranges from 500 to 600 lbs per piling, supporting medium-duty marine and architectural site structures.
Surface finish is natural wood, with no additional coatings or hardware. The piling is suitable for direct embedment in soil or underwater substrates. Field handling requires equipment rated for the specified weight and length.
Where This Product Fits Best
This piling is intended for structural use in marine and waterfront construction. It is commonly installed in:
- dock structures
- marine structures
- pier construction
- waterfront structures
- marina construction
- coastal facility construction
- boardwalk structures
- mooring structures
Environments include saltwater, brackish, and freshwater sites where wood pilings are required for foundational or architectural support. The .60 CCA treatment is suitable for most marine exposure conditions. For sites with high marine borer activity or severe exposure, higher CCA retention may be specified.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation is typically performed using pile driving or vibratory equipment suitable for 20 foot, 500?600 lb wood pilings. Embedment depth and spacing are determined by structural load, soil conditions, and local codes. Field trimming is possible but requires end treatment to maintain preservative protection.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for abrasion, impact damage, or preservative loss at cut ends. In high-traffic or high-abrasion areas, additional protection or sacrificial wear surfaces may be considered. Standard marine construction practices apply for all connections and hardware.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
These pilings are installed vertically as foundational supports for docks, piers, marinas, and boardwalks. Typical embedment depths range from 6 to 10 feet depending on soil and load requirements. Spacing is determined by structure type and design load, with closer spacing for heavy-duty or high-traffic installations.
Tradeoff: Increasing piling diameter or class can reduce the total number of pilings required but may increase handling and installation equipment needs.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This piling is manufactured to ASTM D25 and AWPA standards. The .60 CCA treatment meets current American Wood Preservers Association requirements for marine and waterfront use. No integrated safety features are present; all site safety and handling procedures must follow standard marine construction practices.
A 1-year warranty covers material and manufacturing defects under normal use. All certifications and warranty terms apply to the piling as supplied.
