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 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 C pilings are the smallest diameter classification in the ASTM D25 standard. This piling has a minimum tip diameter of 6 inches (19-inch circumference) and a minimum diameter of 12 inches (38-inch circumference) measured 3 feet from the butt end. Total weight falls between 500 and 600 pounds.
Where This Product Fits Best
Class C pilings are used in foundation and structural applications where load requirements align with the smaller diameter profile. The 20-foot length accommodates sites with moderate embedment depth and above-grade height needs.
The .60 CCA retention level provides protection against decay and insect damage in ground-contact and freshwater applications. Higher retention levels (.80, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.5 pounds per cubic foot) are available as optional treatments for installations requiring greater chemical retention.
Performance and Functional Considerations
Southern Yellow Pine accepts pressure treatment effectively due to its cellular structure. The .60 CCA treatment penetrates the sapwood to resist fungal decay and wood-boring insects in buried or submerged conditions.
The dimensional minimums at the tip and butt establish the structural profile for load calculations. A 6-inch minimum tip diameter and 12-inch minimum butt diameter (measured 3 feet from the butt) define the taper characteristics consistent with ASTM D25 Class C requirements.
Installation and Long-Term Use
At 500 to 600 pounds, this piling requires mechanical handling equipment for transport and placement. Site access, crane reach, and driving equipment capacity should be confirmed before delivery.
CCA-treated pilings are manufactured to AWPA (American Wood Preservers Association) standards for long-term performance in ground contact and freshwater environments. Field cuts or drilling expose untreated wood and may require field-applied preservative treatment to maintain protection at those locations.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once installed, Class C pilings serve as permanent structural members. They are driven or set into prepared holes and typically support deck framing, boardwalks, small piers, or light-duty foundation systems.
The 20-foot length allows for embedment depths suited to soil conditions while leaving adequate above-grade height for the supported structure. Actual embedment and exposure lengths depend on site-specific engineering and soil analysis.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This piling is manufactured to ASTM D25 standards and treated to current AWPA standards. CCA-treated wood requires handling precautions including dust control, skin protection, and proper disposal of sawdust and cutoffs.
LED Lighting Supply provides a 1-year warranty on this product.
