About The Florida Pylon Protection

Are your pylons looking worn down or rotting away? We have an affordable & durable solution called SnapJackets. The SnapJacket is the toughest and longest  lasting option to preserve or repair aging marine piling. The SnapJacket’s design makes it very easy to install, keeping dock repair costs to a minimum. By opening and easily locking back together, using the SnapJacket does not require you to disassemble any portion of the structure built on top of the piles. Gone are the days of needing large barges to come in and take apart portions of the dock to replace a single pole

Pole replacement can be very costly, especially if there is a structure built on top of it, such as a boathouse or boatlift. Once the jacket is filled with cement, all marine boring organisms that are eating away the inside are instantly killed.

 Piling Repair Jacket for Timber Pilings

Easy to install

The installation video above demonstrates just how easy the SnapJacket is to install for timber piling repair. Available in 10, 12, 14, and 16-inch diameters, the SnapJacket will fit around most marine piles. We recommend you choose a piling repair jacket that has at least an inch and a half of annular space all the way around the pile. Simply cut the jacket to length, blow out the sand and slip it around the pile without disturbing any of the deck above. Next slide the locking device down the middle and your form is ready to fill. Pour the void with concrete and never worry about your piling aging again!

Disclaimer

A word of caution when applying the SnapJacket to a piling extending above the decking:  If the piling is dry before the concrete and jacket are applied the piling may subsequently absorb rain water and swell to a point where the expanding wood may crack the concrete and the SnapJacket.  We recommend keeping the jacket only a couple feet above the high tide line where the piling is already moist.  If you need the jacket to go higher, please call in for advice!

Frequently Asked Questions

You can leave your cranes and barges at their home dock because you likely wont need them. To install the SnapJacket you will need a powerwasher or jet pump to blow out the sand out at the bottom. The jacket is cut with a sawzall with a fine tooth blade.   All that’s left is getting the concrete into the SnapJacket.

You sure can! Just use an abrasive brush to remove marine growth. However, cleaning the SnapJacket is not required and has no effect on its useful life. The plastic is far easier to keep clean than wood. Pro tip: by using flexible irrigation line to make a circle around the jacket, the ring will float up and down around the pole. By going up and down with the tide everyday it will agitate the barnacles off before they have a chance to latch on and die, leaving you a much cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing pile.

Snapjacket is constructed using UV protected PVC material. It’s extremely durable and we guarantee it will last at least 25 years. In reality, it likely will last much longer than that. The Timber Council published a study that says marine pilings using this technology will last “indefinitely”
