Piling Preservation: Protective Cone Caps (Non-Lit)

Protecting your dock’s pilings is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and longevity of your waterfront investment. Our heavy-duty cone caps shield pilings from sun damage, water intrusion, and bird droppings that can cause costly deterioration. While we provide an estimated lifespan for our piling caps, the actual longevity cannot be guaranteed due to environmental factors such as UV exposure.

For wood pilings, using 2.5 CCA is the strongest available level of treatment to ensure maximum protection.

Piling Cap Applications

Pile caps, often referred to as piling caps, are a crucial accessory for protecting your dock’s pilings from the harsh elements. These caps are designed to fit securely over the top of each piling, shielding the wood from sun, rain, and bird droppings that can lead to rot and costly repairs.

Available in a variety of materials, including UV-stabilized polyethylene for long-lasting performance, pile caps come in different shapes, such as cone and flat styles, to suit your dock’s look and needs. If you have square pilings, be sure to measure carefully, as square piling caps must match the actual size of your pilings for a snug fit. By installing piling caps, you add an extra layer of protection that helps extend the lifespan of your dock, keeping it strong and attractive for years to come.

Dock Piling Accessories

Beyond piling caps, there are many accessories designed to make your dock safer and more convenient. Line holders, for example, provide an easy way to keep mooring lines organized and out of the way, reducing tripping hazards and keeping your dock tidy.

Stainless steel nails and screws are also available to ensure secure installation of caps and other hardware, offering durability and resistance to corrosion in marine environments. When choosing dock piling accessories, look for products that are built to last, easy to install, and require little maintenance. By adding the right accessories, you can create a docking system that not only looks great but also provides reliable performance and safety for years to come.

Solar-Powered Options

Solar-powered piling lights are a growingly popular choice for dock owners seeking a hassle-free, energy-efficient lighting solution, and a cheaper solution. These lights are designed to capture sunlight during the day and automatically illuminate your dock at night, providing reliable visibility without the need for wiring or ongoing energy costs. 

Solar piling lights are available in a range of styles, including cone and flat caps, so you can find the perfect fit for your pilings. With an estimated life of up to fifteen years for black caps and nine years for white caps, these options offer long-lasting performance and excellent value. Solar-powered piling lights are not only environmentally friendly but also easy to install, making them a smart addition to any dock looking to combine safety, style, and sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these dock piling lights waterproof? A: Yes. The corrosion-resistant composite build and sealed design are made for full marine use.

Featured Installation: Upgrade Your Existing Dock Lights

Step-by-Step Guide to Installing the DRSA Pagoda RGBW Retrofit Kit

Follow these steps to transform your existing pagoda dock lighting in under 15 minutes:

Step 1: Gather Your Tools and Check Compatibility

•  What You'll Need: The DRSA Pagoda RGBW Retrofit Kit (includes 6W RGB+CCT Smart LED Bulb and FUT089 remote), a screwdriver (if needed to access your fixture), and your existing pagoda dock light housing.

• Check Compatibility: Ensure your pagoda dock light fixture has an E26 or E27 base socket. The DRSA kit is designed to fit most standard pagoda dock light housings, eliminating the need for rewiring.

Step 2: Turn Off Power for Safety. Before starting, turn off the power to your dock lighting circuit at the breaker to avoid any electrical hazards. Double-check that the fixture is off by testing with a non-contact voltage tester.

Step 3: Remove the Old Bulb. Access your pagoda dock light fixture (you may need to unscrew the top or remove a cover, depending on the design). Carefully unscrew the existing bulb from the E26/E27 socket and set it aside.

Step 4: Install the DRSA RGB+CCT Smart LED Bulb Take the 6W RGB+CCT Smart LED Bulb (FUT014) from the retrofit kit. Screw the bulb into the E26/E27 socket of your pagoda dock light fixture. Ensure it's securely fastened but avoid overtightening.

Step 5: Restore Power and Test the Fixture Turn the power back on at the breaker. The bulb should light up in its default setting (typically a white light). If it doesn't, double-check the bulb's connection and ensure the fixture is powered.

Step 6: Pair the FUT089 Remote Controller The FUT089 8-Zone RGB+CCT Remote Controller may come pre-paired with the bulb, but if you need to pair it manually:

1. Turn the bulb off for 10 seconds, then turn it back on.

2. Within 3 seconds of powering on, press the “ON” button for the desired zone (e.g., Zone 1) on the remote three times quickly.

3. The bulb will flash to confirm successful pairing.

4. Repeat this process for additional bulbs if you're setting up multiple zones (the remote supports up to 8 zones).
