I would love to but I’m afraid I can’t drive the piles since they usually do it with a giant hammer attached to a barge. I could probably beat some 4x4’s in but that won’t be quite what I am looking for. I was really hoping someone on here Had one built lately. The last time I paid for one was 12 years ago, and it was this one, and it was $6k. I would bet it’s $9k if it’s a penny now. I hate to hear you only got 12 years out of it. I would expect 20. Or that’s what I would think.

My back deck, 24x26 last 10 years before it started rotting. Spots on the decking started turning black and it just fell apart. If you bought Yellawood it's got a 30 year warranty. They made up the materials on mine. They had problems with the treatment process at that time. If that's what you used it would be worth checking into. The new stuff I used is rated for ground contact. Every piece of it from the 6x6's to the 5/4.
I changed the design of the deck when I built it back and had to buy some lumber. Treated lumber is really high right now so your pier is gonna cost much, much more than it did 12 years ago.

Washing the dirt away as the post goes down . Hard part is getting the post standing end down pushed to the bottom to get started Doesn’t work that way unless you’re in sand. Any rocks, sticks, etc. gets in the way and you’re done jetting your way in. And up here in more northern Alabama, you’re not gonna get very deep. There’s so much more that goes into building a pier THE RIGHT WAY. It’s not just a deck, obviously. If it’s on a big lake or river, it takes a beating from current, boat traffic, wind, full sun....you name it. It takes a lot more lumber and time to build one correctly. I get jobs all the time from people that thought they were gonna do it “right” with a pontoon and a sledge hammer. I won’t say it’s impossible, but it’s real close.
This is Aldeer! The place people come to vent their frustrations and completely change their stance a few minutes later...

Why couldn't you put the piling down with a jet pump?

Johnal, do you use ground contact rated lumber for everything over the water? I've never built a pier but I figure with all the moisture it would about have to be GC rated.

I built one for my father in law on Lake Eufaula. We used 4" schedule 40 steel pipe for post. We then used a piece of 6" around 30 inches long to drive them like a drive a fence post. We would drive them down then I would weld on a section and drive some more. We drive 10 post that way. It was a hell of a job
