Throughout Florida concrete walls are plentiful, yet obsolete. Fifty years ago, the options to protect a shoreline with a vertical wall were limited to wood or concrete. Concrete is strong yet very rigid and porous. If any settling or movement occurs (which it does) this will lead to premature cracking and failing of the wall. Although it is a huge investment in your home concrete seawalls do not come with ANY guarantee. Concrete walls do not come with third party testing certifying strength, where and how it was made, or by whom.

Vinyl Sheet Panel Walls

Vinyl sheet panels installed by Florida Shoreline & Foundation Experts come with a 50-year limited product guarantee not to crack, rot or decay---something no other product can offer. This guarantee is transferable to a new buyer. Vinyl sheet panels have been thoroughly tested to ASTM and BOCA standards and have the documentation to prove it. Not only does this give you the peace of mind knowing the wall will stand the test of time and Mother Nature, but it will also say the same to a potential buyer when you choose to sell/move.

Vinyl sheet panels can be used on the bay or on the golf course to construct a new wall, or can be installed in front of your existing failing wall to give you a new wall without the costs of removing and disposing the old wall.

Vinyl Sheet panels come in different colors to fit your aesthetic needs, and can be fitted with a wood, aluminum, or concrete cap depending upon your design parameters and budget. Ask your Florida Shoreline sales consultant for a sample.

Wood Retaining Walls

If you prefer a more traditional look a wood wall may be the right option for you. Built with the highest available 2.5 C.C.A. pressure treated timbers, wood walls will give you the right protection and security combined with the "old fashioned" aesthetics you require.
