Why Helical Piles for Decks?
Time:2025-06-18

Unlike traditional concrete footings that require excavation, curing time, and significant labor, helical piles are driven into the ground with minimal soil disturbance using hydraulic equipment. This allows for:


Fast installation (often within a day)

All-weather application

Immediate load-bearing capability

Minimal environmental impact

Our piles are available in Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 pipe, with 12" and 14" helix plates, offering strength and versatility to accommodate various soil conditions.


The Role of U Brackets

U brackets serve as the critical connection point between the helical pile and the above-ground deck structure. Once the pile is installed to the correct depth and torque, the U bracket is secured on top, allowing wooden beams or posts to be set and fastened easily.


Benefits include:

Secure anchoring of wood beams

Adjustable height options

Corrosion-resistant galvanization

Compatibility with common deck framing sizes


A Better Way to Build

Whether you're a contractor looking for efficiency, or a homeowner seeking a long-lasting solution, helical piles with U brackets offer a modern alternative to traditional deck footings. The system is ideal for sloped sites, poor soil conditions, or projects with limited access.


We are currently supplying pre-engineered kits for deck foundations, complete with piles, helix plates, U brackets, and optional hardware — all conforming to ASTM and AWS standards and fully hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection.
