To protect marine piles, the industry standard is to wrap them in thin black plastic wrap and attach it. This would prevent water from entering the pole and keep any marine organisms away. This black wrap can give you an extra year if done correctly. It is difficult to do right, and it can still have flaws. Over time, marine growth can begin to develop. Barnacles can grow underneath the seams of the overlapping wrap or near the nail holes. The thin plastic will rip apart the pile. Water can flow freely to the piling and leaves it open to environmental attack. You can only ensure that your piling is protected by making sure there are no weak points.

Piling Sleeve

To achieve this, the pile’s coating must be seamless. Durosleeve, a PVC dock piling sleeve that can be used to shrink tubing for electrical parts, is made from PVC. The PVC pile sleeves are then slid onto a wood pile. After that, they are heat-treated and shrank onto the wooden pile. This shrinking creates an airtight seal that is completely seamless. This dock piling sleeve is not only seamless but also thicker than other options, protecting your piling from the harsh marine environment. The wood will retain the preservatives that prolong the wood’s life year after year, so they stay in place. We are able to offer a 25-year warranty that is unmatched by any other company.
