What Are Gun Barrel Pilings庐?

Uniform (No Taper), Structural Wood Pilings Up to 52 Feet Long

A Gun Barrel Piling庐 is a selected log that is machined to a uniform diameter.

They are preferred in applications where strength and aesthetics are important. Gun Barrel Pilings庐 and poles make impressive columns, are structurally sound, and are available in lengths up to 52 feet and diameters up to 20 inches. Often used as columns, they are much less expensive than traditional architectural columns and are even cheaper than square timbers and pilings in most sizes.

Easier Design & Installation

Design and installation are easier when you use Gun Barrel Pilings庐 in place of regular tapered poles. While common poles and pilings are also strong and long-lasting, their irregular and varying diameters can make alignment and matching during installation difficult and lengthy.

The uniform dimension of Gun Barrel poles and pilings means your materials will match your design plans 鈥� saving you assembly time and frustration.

The uniformity of Gun Barrel Pilings庐 means you can precut from your parts list instead of fitting and cutting each piling one by one.

Stronger & Easier to Install Than Square Pilings

Gun Barrel Pilings庐 are stronger than square pilings of comparable sizes.
They are also less expensive in most sizes.

Plus, Gun Barrel Pilings庐 are easier to install than square timbers, especially in applications where your pilings must be squared to a frame or other structure. Square pilings must be properly turned so that one of their faces is flat against the member to which they will be connected. Being uniformly round, Gun Barrel Pilings庐 need no squaring.

Consider that the massive weight of most house pilings is between 500 and 1,000 pounds each and you will quickly see why avoiding the issue of squaring can save you a great deal of time and effort.

Excellent In & Near Water

Gun Barrel Pilings庐 are excellent choices in or near water. Gun Barrel Pilings庐 are less susceptible to attack by termites and marine borers because they have no exposed heartwood as many square timbers have.

Additionally, they will handle storm surges better than square timbers because the round shape allows quickly moving water to flow smoothly around the pilings with little impact. Square timbers often develop a low-pressure area on the back-side of the flow which makes them more likely to loosen from the ground thereby weakening the foundation of homes or piers they support 鈥� very important in hurricane-prone areas.

Gun Barrel Pilings庐 deliver all of those benefits 鈥� stronger, cheaper, and easier to install 鈥� while also giving you the uniformity and refined appearance offered by square timbers.

Interior or Exterior 鈥� Any Treatment Level

Just like regular poles and pilings, Gun Barrel poles and pilings can be treated for use in exterior and marine projects or you can use them untreated for interior projects. Upon request, they can also be kiln dried and ready for stain upon arrival to your job site. If your Gun Barrel Pilings庐 are to be used in water, consider having them coated with our special polymer coating which will double their life.

Additionally, you can cut, drill, paint, carve, or otherwise customize and build onto your solid uniform diameter poles.
