What’s the cost?

Protecting your dock pilings is one of the smartest investments you can make to ensure the longevity and structural integrity of your dock. Wooden pilings are constantly exposed to harsh marine environments, where they are vulnerable to damage from shipworms, barnacles, and other wood-destroying organisms. Over time, this can lead to significant deterioration, weakening the foundation of your dock and requiring expensive repairs or even complete replacements.

By wrapping your pilings with a high-quality .30 mil HDPE wrap, you create a protective barrier that prevents marine pests from burrowing into the wood while also reducing water and oxygen exposure—two key factors in wood decay. This simple preventive measure can extend the life of your pilings by decades, saving you thousands of dollars in long-term repair and replacement costs.

The cost of wrapping pilings typically ranges widely, depending on factors such as the size of the piling and installation complexity. Considering that replacing a single piling can cost well over $1,000, this proactive investment is a fraction of the cost of future repairs. Protecting your pilings now ensures that your dock remains safe, stable, and durable for years to come.
