How to Protect Seawalls

Have your seawall professionally reinforced with vinyl siding. Vinyl siding is a popular option for private landowners for its cost effectiveness. Another advantage to vinyl seawall reinforcement is that marine borers, small ocean creatures that like to latch onto wooden and aluminum walls for food, do not affect it. Vinyl is also resistant to ultraviolet rays, is typically easier to install and often comes with a long warranty.

Protect seawalls with composite piling. Composite piling is a popular seawall reinforcing and protection method for large commercial and public areas because of its ability to cover large, extended areas of seawall at relatively low cost, using mostly raw and recycled materials.

Reinforce your seawall with Everwood siding. Everwood is a polymer wrapping system that houses environmentally friendly, non-polluting timber. The benefit of Everwood siding is that it is aesthetically pleasing to look at, and is an environmentally friendly way to protect and reinforce seawalls. The cost of Everwood siding does not make it practical for commercial use, but it is popular among owners of high-end, privately owned land.
