Like so many other products from American Pole & Timber, SUD’s can be custom cut or drilled in our factory to save you time and money on the job site.

Polymer Coated Wood Poles & Posts
For ultra-long lasting poles and posts, we recommend the unique polymer wood coating to protect your wood pole or post. Polymer coated poles were initially designed to be used as marine pilings because they withstand the harsh marine environment so well. In fact, polymer coated pilings are guaranteed for 25 years in salt water projects.
Poly coated fence posts have become popular in recent years since the posts can be zone coated to protect the post at the ground line where moisture and parasites attack and weaken your posts. Having your fence posts zone coated can easily double their useable life.
Marine Treated Pilings
Marine treated pilings are one of our flagship product lines. Your pilings can be treated for saltwater, brackish, or freshwater projects. Your pilings are the foundation of your entire project. Use the proper treatment and feel secure in the quality of your products and the choices you made.
What is the Difference Between Poles & Pilings?
The difference between wood poles and pilings is found in how they are used. Poles are used big-end-down and small-end-UP. Pilings are driven into the ground small-end-down. By simply turning a pole upside-down, you can use it as a piling.
Wood Foundation Pilings
Wood foundation pilings are commonly used in places where the foundation soil is unstable because of varied soil composition or moisture content. Treated wood poles make excellent foundations pilings because they are renewable, affordable, easy to install, easily modified on-site, and long-lasting.
Fence Posts
We supply fence posts nationwide in truckload quantities. Available in nearly any size, treated or untreated, fence posts from American Pole & Timber can also be fully or partially coated with our tough polymer coating to ensure a long lasting fence.
