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 is a 40-foot Class C wood piling 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 sized for moderate load applications where full structural Class A or B capacity is not required. This piling weighs between 1,235 and 1,460 pounds depending on moisture content and density variation within the species.
Treatment follows current American Wood Preservers Association standards for decay and damage prevention. Higher CCA retention levels are available at .80, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.5 pounds per cubic foot for applications requiring increased protection.
Where This Product Fits Best
Class C pilings at 40 feet serve foundation and structural support applications where soil conditions or load requirements fall within moderate ranges. The .60 CCA treatment level provides baseline protection against decay and biological deterioration in ground contact and freshwater exposure.
Applications requiring saltwater exposure, marine borer protection, or extended service life in aggressive soil chemistry may require the optional higher retention treatments. The 40-foot length accommodates sites where pile embedment depth plus above-grade extension totals within that range.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The minimum tip circumference is 19 inches with a minimum tip diameter of 6 inches. Three feet from the butt, minimum circumference is 38 inches with a minimum diameter of 12 inches. These dimensions define the structural taper profile for load calculations and driving equipment selection.
Southern Yellow Pine accepts CCA treatment effectively due to its sapwood permeability. The .60 retention level represents standard treatment for general use. Projects with specific exposure conditions or extended design life requirements should evaluate whether the .80, 1.0, 1.5, or 2.5 retention options are appropriate.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Pilings in this weight range require appropriate rigging and driving equipment. Handling and placement logistics should account for the 1,235 to 1,460 pound weight and 40-foot length during site staging and installation.
CCA-treated wood requires standard handling precautions during cutting, drilling, or modification. Cut ends and field modifications expose untreated wood and should be addressed according to established field treatment practices to maintain protection continuity.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once driven, these pilings function as permanent structural elements requiring no adjustment or operational interaction. Load transfer and long-term performance depend on proper embedment depth, soil conditions, and compatibility between the piling class and actual load demands.
The treatment retention level selected at time of installation determines long-term protection. Sites with variable water levels, soil salinity, or biological activity may see different service life outcomes based on whether the .60 standard treatment or a higher retention option was specified.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This piling is manufactured to ASTM D25 standards. Treatment conforms to current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Warranty coverage is 1 year.
