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 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 40 foot Class B piling is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with .60 CCA preservative. It is designed for structural use in marine and waterfront environments where long-term durability and resistance to decay are required. Typical installations include direct embedment for dock, pier, and marina construction, supporting both lighting and architectural site elements.
The piling meets ASTM D25 and AWPA standards for wood utility poles and pilings. It is suitable for projects requiring a 40 ft structural member with a minimum top circumference of 22 inches and a butt circumference of at least 37 inches. Weight ranges from 1430 to 1690 lbs depending on final dimensions and moisture content.
Core Performance and Output
This piling provides structural support for marine and waterfront construction. The Class B rating and Southern Yellow Pine species deliver a balance of strength and flexibility for embedded applications. The .60 CCA treatment protects against rot, marine borers, and fungal decay in wet and brackish environments.
At 40 feet, this piling is commonly used for medium- to large-scale dock and pier projects, as well as marina and boardwalk structures. Structural capacity is determined by diameter, embedment depth, and soil conditions. Excessive lateral loading or installation in highly abrasive tidal zones may require higher CCA treatment or larger diameter options.
Adjustability and Control Options
This piling is a fixed structural element with no integrated adjustability. All modifications, such as field trimming or drilling for hardware, must be performed on site using standard wood construction tools. CCA treatment options up to 2.5 CCA are available for increased protection in aggressive environments.
Control of final installation height and orientation is determined during embedment and alignment. No integrated lighting or electrical raceways are included; all conduit or cable runs must be field installed as required by the project.
Longevity and Reliability
The .60 CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to decay, marine organisms, and moisture intrusion. Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its density and load-bearing characteristics in marine applications. Service life is influenced by exposure, waterline abrasion, and maintenance practices.
Periodic inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage, abrasion at the waterline, and hardware corrosion. Higher CCA treatments are available for sites with severe exposure or extended service life requirements.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
Each piling is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Minimum top diameter is 7 inches, with a minimum butt diameter of 12 inches measured 3 feet from the base. Weight varies from 1430 to 1690 lbs. The wood is pressure treated to .60 CCA as standard, with optional higher treatments available.
Surface finish is typical of debarked, treated Southern Yellow Pine. All pilings are manufactured to ASTM D25 and AWPA standards. Direct embedment is the standard mounting method; hardware and brackets are field installed as required.
Where This Product Fits Best
This piling is intended for structural use in marine and waterfront construction where wood pilings are required for support, anchoring, or foundation elements. It is commonly specified for new builds and major renovations in saltwater, brackish, and freshwater environments.

- coastal facility construction
- boardwalk structures
- mooring structures
Designed for direct embedment in soil or underwater substrates. Suitable for use in tidal, coastal, and inland waterway environments. Not intended for above-grade architectural use without additional finishing or cladding.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation is by direct embedment, typically using pile driving or auger methods. Final embedment depth and spacing depend on soil conditions, structural loads, and local codes. Field trimming and hardware installation are performed after placement.
Long-term use requires periodic inspection for abrasion, decay at the waterline, and hardware condition. Maintenance may include re-coating exposed wood, replacing corroded fasteners, and monitoring for settlement or movement. Higher CCA treatments are recommended for aggressive marine environments or extended service life.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Typical mounting height is 40 feet above grade or waterline, with embedment depth determined by structural requirements. Spacing and layout are based on load calculations, dock or pier design, and local engineering standards. Pilings are often installed in rows or clusters to support decking, lighting, or mooring hardware.
Fixture count and spacing vary by project; higher loads or longer spans may require closer spacing or larger diameter pilings. Using higher CCA treatments can extend service life but may increase lead time and handling requirements.
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 structural use. Southern Yellow Pine is sourced and processed in the United States.
Standard warranty is 1 year. All handling and installation must comply with local safety regulations and best practices for treated wood products. Personal protective equipment is recommended during cutting or drilling.
