We have been on lake Livingston for 10 years building boathouses , docks and piers .Most customers are perfectly happy with building on 6x6 pilings , over the last year or so we have had several request to build with 8x8's for longer life and stability for their boathouse , with 8x8 piling , you will get 20 percent more life out of building on lake livingston with 8x8's and it will be more stable .So if you have an interest in getting 10 or more years of life out of your project , let us quote your next boathouse construction project using 8x8 piling . just give me a call.
