Inside or Outside - Treated, Untreated, Kiln Dried

No-taper Gun Barrel pilings can be used inside or outside.  They can be treated to any level you specify or left untreated.  They can also be kiln dried before and/or after treatment to accept stains and paints upon installation.

Better Than Square Pilings

In comparison of the pros and cons of round and square pilings Gun Barrel pilings beat square pilings in function and aesthetics.  Gun Barrel pilings are, essentially, refined pilings with no taper.

  • Round Pilings are Easier to Connect to Structure (no squaring required)
  • Round Pilings are Easier to Drive (less surface area than square)
  • Round Pilings = Less Exposed Heartwood
  • Round Pilings are Safer in Storm Surges

Any Treatments Available

Most pilings are treated with safe and effective CCA, which is approved for most piling applications.  Other treatments are readily available upon request.  The most common treatment levels are:

  • .40 pcf - ground contact
  • .60 pcf - freshwater applications
  • 2.5 pcf - saltwater applications

Other retention levels are available to meet specifications per engineers or government contract requirements.  We have worked on many projects along side architects, engineers, Corps of Engineers, and more.

Only Available Here

We are the only producer of Gun Barrel pilings.  They were developed to provide the natural look of solid wood poles and pilings with the visual and dimensional uniformity of square timbers and pilings.

By choosing Gun Barrel pilings, you will also save time on the job site.  Since they have no taper, they are easier to install and build onto, especially when used as beach house pilings or foundation columns.
