Vinyl Bulkhead Materials — Most Cost Effective
With the lowest life-cycle cost, vinyl bulkheads are the most cost-effective option in the long term. You can expect the vinyl sheets to last more than 50 years and while you may want to replace some of the wood components during that time, you will not have the additional material and labor expenses of replacing the vinyl sheet pilings.
Parts of a vinyl bulkhead include:
- Vinyl Sheet Pilings
- Wale
- Back Wale (or Backboard)
- Top Cap (optional)
- Tie Rods (or Tie Back Cable)
- Deadmen (usually a 5″ Post, 4-8 feet long)
- Pilings (in some designs)
- Hardware – Bolts, Nuts, Washers, Screws/Nails

Which Treatment Should I Choose?
The level of treatment your wood needs depends upon the kind of water you are building in. For most cases you will need .60pcf retention level in fresh water and 2.5pcf in brackish or salt water. You should apply the same rule to the wood components in a vinyl bulkhead.
Wood Bulkhead Materials - Inexpensive
