Post Wood pilings
Anyone knows where I could buy some pilings. I need 6in pilings about 15 feet long. I need about 20 of them. I am building a dock by my camp. The camp is only accessible by water, so anything bigger than 6in is gonna be hard to get out there and handle while driving them. I'm in southeast Louisiana. Thanks

Might try finding a wood mill or a power company co-op.

I'd jet the pillings in. Easier then driving em if your not setup to do it already. Only fall back is it tends to take a good while to wash it out. I got a buddy with a camp on b. segnette ill ask if he knows anyone that does that kinda work over there.

Sounds good man, my camp is on segnette. Everyone I've seen out there just nails a board on the piling and jump on the board
