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 try to talk to people and tell them we should, but most don’t want to spend the extra coin. I get that, piers aren’t cheap. Especially when you start getting into deeper water and having to use 30’ telephone poles. All the post I use are ground and water treated of course. The “salt water” treatment from Alfa lumber in Birmingham is what I try to get people to go with. It’s no 1 stuff that has been double treated pretty much. Probably the same as “ground and water” treatment. It’s good looking pine, which can be tough to come by now days. Feels like it’s full of lead though!

Why couldn't you put the piling down with a jet pump? This was explained already. Go ahead and try it. Hope you’re practically on the coast.

Well, it will cost you more up front but in the long run you will save yourself a lot of money and especially time.
Reframe and go with COMPOSITE DECKING. I did it 5 years ago and have watched my neighbors restain twice and are always replacing rotted boards. I have not done anything but rinse mine off on occasion.

I just need to get the decking redone on mine. If your bands and joist are in good shape, I’d go with trex!! Just FYI. Think they’re making one now that doesn’t get as hot. That’s the only issue w trex that I know of. Your joist need to be on 16” centers btw.
