📏 How to Choose Your Size
Measure each piling individually. For best fit, select a light cap 1.5" to 2" larger than your piling diameter.
Piling Diameter | Wattage |
---|---|
8" to 9.5" | 7.86W |
10" to 11.5" | 8.25W – 10.5W |
12" to 13.5" | 9.42W – 14.5W |
14" to 15.5" | 10.98W – 18.5W |
16" to 18" | 12.57W – 20W |
(Detailed specs listed with each product variant.)
How to Measure for Pile Caps
Properly measuring your wooden pilings ensures you get the right cap the first time. Even if all pilings were installed together, individual measurements may vary by 2–3 inches.
✅ Most Accurate Method: Use a String
-
Wrap a piece of string around the circumference of the piling
-
Measure the length of the string in inches
-
Divide that number by π (3.1416) to calculate the diameter
-
Example: 25" string ÷ 3.1416 = 7.96 → Order an 8" cap

✅ Quick Steps Recap:
A. Wrap string around the piling
B. Measure string length
C. Divide length by 3.1416 to get diameter
D. Use the next half-size up for your cap
🔎 Less Accurate Method:
If string isn’t available, measure across the piling both North/South and East/West, then average the two. Round up to the nearest half inch.
Example: If a piling measures 8.3" x 8.1", order an 8.5" cap
