What is a Gun Barrel Piling®?

American Pole and Timber has revolutionized the industry with a unique process of custom-manufacturing timber pilings, offering superior strength and durability. These uniform, non-tapered Gun Barrel Pilings® are crafted from high-quality solid wood and can be pressure treated to resist harsh weather conditions for a variety of applications. Designed to support heavy loads, these round timber pilings are not only aesthetically pleasing but are also more cost effective than traditional piling options.

Gun Barrel Pilings® are customizable to meet diverse construction needs. They can be cut to any length up to 52 feet and 20 inches in diameter and American Pole & Timber can even pre-drill holes and pre-cut notches, wiring channels, and other specified shapes or angles. They serve a multitude of purposes including but not limited to dock and pier supports, beach home pilings, and foundation pilings for both residential and commercial buildings. They ensure versatility and uniformity in every application. Because of their uniformity, builders and contractors find that they are easier to install and build around.
