Treated Square Pilings - All Sizes, All Treatments

Square pilings offer a level of uniformity difficult to achieve in round pilings.  They are also visually impressive - massive square timbers holding up a structure.

From treated 6x6 timbers for bulkheads and fences to massive 12x12 pilings (and larger) for foundations and fender systems we can supply your square pilings.  Our giant inventory of pilings can serve your square timber pilings requirements.

Gun Barrel Pilings - No Taper Pilings

We are the exclusive producer of Gun Barrel Piling (a.k.a. Solid Uniform Diameter pilings).  No taper Gun Barrel pilings provide all the natural look of round pilings with the visual and dimensional uniformity of square pilings.  Additionally, Gun Barrel pilings are easier to install and build onto, especially when used as beach house pilings or foundation columns.

Comparison of Round and Square Pilings

In response to numerous questions about the pros and cons of round pilings versus square we have put together a simple comparison of round and square wood pilings.

Round Pilings are Easier to Install (no Squaring)
All piling must be installed plumb (straight). However, when installing square pilings, enormous detail must be given to ensuring they are square relative to the position of the rest of the structure.

With that in mind, installing round pilings may save hours of job-site headaches and labor costs.

Round Pilings & Uniform Diameter Gun Barrel Pilings = Less Exposed Heartwood
This is not always an issue with square pilings.  However, round pilings virtually never have exposed heartwood, except for at their cut ends.  Square pilings usually have at least some exposed untreatable heartwood along their length due to the sawing process meaning they are more susceptible than round pilings to rot and decay.  See the table above.

Round Pilings & Gun Barrel Pilings Safer in Storm Surges
Additionally, round pilings and Gun Barrel pilings are safer and more stable than square pilings in storm surge conditions because they allow the water to flow evenly and smoothly around them whereas square pilings generated a low-pressure area on the piling's backside increasing the likelihood of failure. See the comparison table below.
