40 Foot Piling | Class A | .60 CCA Treated | Southern Yellow Pine
This 40 foot Class A Southern Yellow Pine piling is a strong choice for structural applications requiring high load-bearing capacity and durability in wet, ground-contact, or exposed environments. The .60 lbs per cubic foot CCA treatment, with optional higher levels, provides reliable resistance to decay and insect activity, making it well-suited for marine, foundation, and heavy-duty support installations where treated wood is specified. Compliance with ASTM D25 and American Wood Preservers Association standards ensures consistent performance. This piling is not intended for applications outside structural support in environments requiring treated wood or where Class A or ASTM D25 compliance is not 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 can 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
We supply 40 foot Class A CCA Treated Southern Yellow Pine pilings for structural support in marine and waterfront construction. These pilings are manufactured to ASTM D25 and AWPA standards, with a minimum top circumference of 28 inches and a weight range of 1640 to 1940 pounds. Typical use includes driven installation for piers, docks, and marinas where long-term durability and load-bearing capacity are required.
This piling is designed for demanding environments where structural integrity and resistance to decay are critical. The .60 CCA treatment level is standard, with higher treatment options available for increased protection in saltwater or marine borer conditions.
Core Performance and Output
This piling provides structural support for marine and waterfront applications, with a 40 foot length suitable for deep water or elevated pier construction. The Class A rating ensures maximum strength and load capacity for heavy-duty installations. Minimum top diameter is 9 inches, with a 14 inch diameter 3 feet from the butt, supporting high vertical and lateral loads.
CCA treatment at .60 pounds per cubic foot delivers resistance to decay and insect attack in foundation and freshwater environments. Higher CCA levels up to 2.5 pounds per cubic foot are available for saltwater and marine borer exposure. Excessive length may require specialized equipment for handling and driving, and site access can limit installation options in confined areas.
Adjustability and Control Options
This piling is supplied as a solid, untreated wood product with no integrated adjustability or mechanical control features. Length, diameter, and treatment level are fixed at the time of manufacture. Field trimming is possible but reduces effective length and may require re-treatment of cut ends.
CCA treatment level can be specified to match site conditions, with options from .60 to 2.5 pounds per cubic foot. No integrated hardware or mounting brackets are included; all attachment and connection methods are determined by the project engineer or installer.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine pilings treated with CCA are proven for long-term performance in marine and waterfront environments. The .60 CCA treatment meets AWPA standards for foundation and freshwater use, while higher levels provide additional protection in brackish and saltwater conditions. Proper installation and periodic inspection are required for maximum service life.
Expected lifespan varies by exposure and treatment level. In saltwater with marine borers, 2.5 CCA treatment is recommended for maximum durability. Warranty coverage is 1 year, with actual service life typically exceeding warranty period when installed and maintained according to standards.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
Each piling is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and treated in the United States. The minimum top circumference is 28 inches, with a minimum 44 inch circumference 3 feet from the butt. Weight ranges from 1640 to 1940 pounds per piling, depending on diameter and moisture content at time of treatment.
Surface finish is rough, suitable for driven installation. CCA treatment is pressure-applied for deep penetration and uniform protection. Pilings are supplied without pre-drilled holes or hardware. Handling requires heavy equipment due to length and weight.
Where This Product Fits Best
This piling is intended for structural use in marine and waterfront construction where high load capacity and resistance to decay are required. Typical environments include saltwater, brackish water, and freshwater sites where driven wood pilings are standard practice.
- pier construction
- marine structures
- dock structures
- waterfront structures
- marina construction
- coastal facility construction
- boardwalk structures
- mooring structures
CCA treatment level should be matched to site conditions. For saltwater or marine borer exposure, higher CCA levels are required. Not suitable for applications where untreated or non-wood pilings are specified.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation is typically performed using pile driving equipment capable of handling 40 foot lengths and weights up to 1940 pounds. Driven installation into soil, sand, or underwater substrate is standard. Site access and equipment capacity must be verified before delivery.
Long-term use requires periodic inspection for mechanical damage, abrasion, or localized decay. Cut ends or field modifications must be re-treated to maintain protection. In high exposure environments, increased CCA treatment is recommended for extended service life.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
40 foot pilings are commonly installed for deep water piers, marina docks, and waterfront boardwalks where long, continuous support is required. Typical spacing and layout are determined by structural load calculations and soil conditions, with pile centers often ranging from 6 to 12 feet depending on design.
Mounting height above waterline is set by project requirements. Higher CCA treatment levels are specified for saltwater or marine borer risk. Increasing pile spacing can reduce material count but may require larger diameter or higher class pilings to maintain structural integrity.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This piling meets ASTM D25 and AWPA standards for wood pilings. CCA treatment is performed to AWPA specifications for marine and foundation use. No integrated safety features are included; all site safety procedures must be followed during handling and installation.
Warranty is 1 year from date of delivery. Actual service life depends on installation quality, exposure, and maintenance. Certification documentation is available upon request.
