Foundation Piling

Foundation timber piles are an integral part of foundation systems and have been successfully used worldwide for more than 6,000 years to support all kinds of structures. In more recent times, pressure treatment has been recognized as a process that protects timber by extending its life indefinitely, and timber piles are routinely specified for all kinds of major, modern infrastructure including commercial buildings, manufacturing plants and highway bridges.

With over 45 years of experience in the timber industry, Toronto Timber has achieved an excellent reputation for supplying quality piling material at the best possible price to meet the specific requirements of your piling project.
