Pilings Are Forever!

---

 Aluminum piling systems are commonly used in lieu of the more unappealing cable anchoring and/or underwater anchoring systems.  Aluminum pilings offer permanent unobstructed access to the shore side of the dock allowing increased recreational and boat mooring area.  Pilings eliminate the need for attaching cables to the shoreline by utilizing 20-30foot aluminum pilings that are driven in the ground a minimum of 6-10 feet.  These pilings are secured to the dock using a welded aluminum guide that is lined with nylon.  

 Pilings can be installed on almost any dock that resides on Lake Keowee or Lake Jocassee.  Piling anchor systems are for lake residents who don’t want to worry about cables breaking loose, those who have docks in high traffic or high wind areas, and/ or anyone who is tired of maintaining their cable anchoring systems.  

 -No rusting cables. 

-Maintenance free.

 -No safety hazards of cable   entanglement. 

-Quiet operation.

 -Access to the shore side of the  dock.

 -Permanent!    

 Placement of pilings on a dock depends on wind direction and water depth.  Ideally, pilings would be placed on the shore side of the dock as close to the corner as possible. There are instances when wind load on a specific side is much greater in which case the piling would be placed on the outside of the dock at a corner.  For docks that are in very heavy traffic areas, four pilings may be needed.
