This 4′ x 80′ pier in Kittery, Maine, rests on a Helix anchor foundation. These anchors, which screw into the soil, have greater holding power and are less expensive to install than traditional wood pilings.
The pier connects the shoreline with the water, bridging wetland to bring users to a 3′ x 36′ arch-style alumiunum gangway and then an 8′ x 16′ floating dock.
