Piers

Construction

Docks are generally constructed with 10″ butt or 8″ top pilings.  Although 8″ top pilings sound smaller than 10″ butt pilings, they are actually larger in diameter consistently throughout the piling.  Larger 12″ butt and Class B pilings are used on the bay front or in areas with deeper water.  Marina and Commercial projects generally consist of the larger piling applications.
