Piling caps are designed as a way to protect expensive pilings from deterioration and rot. They are an excellent and economical choice for dock and pier pilings. They can also be used in other outdoor applications. Some examples would be agricultural, residential and commercial fencing, composite utility poles, concrete columns, restaurants and other businesses for creating themed outdoor areas and spaces.
The Cone Shaped piling caps are designed to discourage sea birds from landing on them and make it easier to throw lines over the pilings. The most popular sizes (7″ to 13″) of cone shaped caps are injection molded, UV inhibited polypropylene.
The Flat Shaped piling caps are designed to cover the tops of the pilings leaving a smooth surface. If the pilings are cut level, they can be utilized to place things (boating supplies, fishing gear, accessories, etc.) instead of putting them down on the dock creating a trip hazard.
All flat caps and the larger sizes of cone caps are thermoformed using a superior grade of heavy duty low density polyethylene (LDPE) with an estimated life in excess of 15 years for black caps and 9 years for white caps. Thermoformed black caps are specified for applications requiring an extended service life in extreme conditions such as caps for composite utility poles. (The actual life of piling caps is not guaranteed).
Piling Caps are available in Cone and Flat styles, Round or Square shapes and Black or White in color.
Measurement Guidelines For Ordering The Correct Piling Cap Size:
Wood pilings are cut from trees and are not uniform in size. To order the correct size, measure across the top of each piling and find the widest measurement. Please provide us the widest measurement in 1/8" increments. DO NOT ROUND UP OR DOWN. The piling cap will retain its round or square shape without any distortion.
