7 things nobody tells you before ordering timber trusses.

Like the fact that you do not need finished drawings to get started. Or that not every wood species can handle your span. Or that hidden steel plates and exposed steel plates carry the exact same structural load.

We put together a guide with the 7 details most suppliers leave out of their quotes.

The contractors your clients remember after a storm aren't the lowest bidders.

They're the ones who called before it hit.

At American Pole & Timber, part of the Building Products Plus group, we've watched this play out on the Gulf Coast for 30 years. When a storm is in the forecast, most crews wait for the phone to ring. A few pick it up first. They call the clients near the water and ask one simple question: are you and your family ready?

No charge. No pitch. Just showing up.

After the storm, those are the clients who call them first. And when a neighbor asks who to hire, theirs is the name that comes up.

There's a second half to it too. When rebuilding comes, the materials matter. Build back with wood treated for the job, or vinyl and composite where the water never lets up, and a family doesn't lose the same dock twice.

We put the whole playbook in one place: what to do before a storm, what to check after, and how to rebuild so it lasts. Link's below. Want to talk it through? We're always glad to.

Wood bulkheads or vinyl bulkheads? The answer depends on your project, your budget, and how long you want it to last.

Wood bulkheads provide effective shoreline protection with a natural look. They are an excellent option for freshwater or smaller projects where longevity is not the highest priority.

Vinyl bulkheads are the smartest investment for long-term value. With a 60-year warranty, vinyl sheet pilings easily provide the best longevity and lowest total lifecycle cost. Since the mid-nineties, there have been no vinyl failures in the projects we have supplied.

We supply complete bulkhead packages for both wood and vinyl, delivered with all hardware and components needed, ready to build.

We're already in hurricane season, and the busiest stretch is still ahead. Is your marine structure ready for the next one?

The first named storm of 2026 already made landfall on the Texas coast, and the season runs through November 30 with the peak typically hitting in September. One strong storm is all it takes to damage a dock, pier, or bulkhead that wasn't built with the right materials. The time to inspect, repair, and upgrade is now, while there's still a window.

When you build in or near water, material selection is everything. Here's what we supply for marine structures that hold up:

Gun Barrel PilingsĀ® for uniform-diameter structural support that performs and looks good doing it. Treated pilings and marine-grade lumber rated for saltwater. EcoPileĀ® vinyl-composite pilings, impervious to marine borers, with a 25-year warranty. XPileā„¢ with a 50-year warranty. Vinyl sheet piling for bulkheads with a 60-year warranty. Polymer coated wood to protect pilings at the waterline. SnapJacket repair sleeves to restore rotted pilings at a fraction of replacement cost. Dock, pier, and boathouse materials, hardware, and fasteners.

Don't wait for the next forecast. Our Foundation Package comes with a 25-year warranty.

Hurricane season is here.

If your dock, pier, or waterfront structure hasn't been inspected since last season, don't wait for the first named storm to find the weak points for you.

Rotted pilings. Loose connections. Decking that's checked and splitting. These are the things that turn a tropical storm into a total rebuild.

Here's what to look at right now:
- Pilings: check for soft spots, marine borer damage, waterline rot
- Connections: bolts, lag screws, joist hangers. Are they corroded?
- Decking: cupping, checking, loose boards
- Bumpers and cleats: still secured?

If your pilings need repair, our SnapJacket system permanently entombs damaged wood pilings in reinforced concrete. No disassembly required. 25-year warranty.

If it's time for a full rebuild, we supply everything: treated pilings, EcoPileĀ® composite pilings, XPileā„¢ FRP pilings, Gun Barrel PilingsĀ®, framing lumber, decking, and hardware. One call, one quote, one shipment.

If we don't have it, we'll make it.
