Helical Screw Piles

At Deco Decks, we use helical screw piles for our deck footings. Helical piles are far superior to traditional and outdated concrete footings. Helical piles are basically hollow galvanized steel rods with a screw-type anchor at the bottom of the rod. The advantages of helical piles for backyard deck installations are many. Read more below.

Eliminates Frost Heave

The biggest advantage of helical piles is that they eliminate frost heave in the winter. Helical piles will remain firmly planted in the ground through all seasons.
