Galvanized and ACQ-approved helical piles offer superior durability and corrosion resistance for foundations, especially for decks and other light-frame structures. Unlike traditional concrete foundations that require messy, labor-intensive installation and long curing times often delayed by weather, helical piles are screwed directly into the ground with minimal disturbance, allowing for immediate construction... The zinc coating from galvanization protects the steel against rust from moisture and salts, while the ACQ-approved coating specifically resists corrosion from pressure-treated lumber, ensuring a long-lasting and stable foundation.
Understanding how the helix size relates to the load bearing capacity of helical piles can shed some light onto how helical piles can be designed and utilized for various projects and soil conditions...
Choosing the right footing for your deck is an important step in your project. The footing forms the base of which your entire project is built on. Making sure to have a strong and reliable foundation will ensure the safety and longevity of your deck. Below we will go over the different types footings that may be used and share some advantages to each...
