Wooden piles made from tree trunks whose branches have been carefully cut, usually preserved and with small ends as a pointed part.

Sometimes a large end is aimed at a special purpose intention, such as in a very soft soil where it will move back against the shaft.

Sometimes a pointed tip is fitted with a metal shoe when the stake must penetrate hard soil or gravel. The use of wood piles is a cheap way of using piles as a foundation. Wooden poles will last long and not easily rot the pole pole in a state always submerged in full under the water table. Wooden piles will be more easily damaged or alternated.

Benefits of using wooden piles. Relatively lighter wooden piles are easy to transport. Large tensile strength so that at the time of appointment for erection does not cause problems as in the pile of concrete precast. Easy to work on this pole pole is no longer able to enter the ground.

This wood pile is better for friction pile than for end bearing pile because the tension is relatively small. Because the wooden pole is relatively flexible against the horizontal direction in comparison with piles other than wood, the folding of this pole receives a horizontal that is not fixed, this wood pile will bend and return to the position after the horizontal is lost. This is often the case on where to live.
