Detailed Product Description

Greenheart Piling stands in a class superior to all other woods used for marine and structural applications. Greenheart : A Timber with Exceptional Qualities - U.S. Department of Agriculture, states Greenheart wood is almost immune to decay and is more resistant to the teredo worms and other marine wood borer than any of the hundreds of species of timber so far used for piling.

Greenheart has been in use for centuries around the world with a proven reputation of longevity when used under extreme conditions. Greenheart is becoming increasingly popular as The Untreated Alternative. This unique timber requires no treatment, yet it is significantly stronger than Pine, Oak or Douglas Fir.

The available lengths in Greenheart piles range from 10 feet to 75 feet long with diameters on the larger end (Butt) of 12 to 22. We can also supply Turada piles that are less than 12 butt diameter. Turada pile (common name Kakaralli) has the similar strength properties as Greenheart and also requires no treatment.
