Northstar Vinyl & Wood Bulkheads and Retaining Walls
Joe Birkner Lumber is one of the largest suppliers in Texas
of bulkheading materials. We can ship a wall in pieces or as
a package with every component - including hardware - you need
for construction of the wall. Our experienced Project Consultants
can also help you design the wall system that will best suit
your needs.
Vinyl Bulkheading
Northstar Vinyl Bulkheading is designed for extended life
and durability in marine applications. Its rigidity and superior
design make it very effective for walls near roadways and for
landscape erosion control systems. Other alternative uses range
from cofferdams to concrete forms to head walls for bridges.
The Huge Advantages of Using Northstar Vinyl Bulkhead
-
Maintains Attractiveness longer than wood
-
Extremely Cost Effective - lasts twice as
long as wood
-
Easier to Install than Wood

"Northstar Vinyl Bulkheading is definitely superior to other
products on the market.
Monoextruded pertains to the method
used to manufacture the vinyl. The material is the same all
the way through so there is no thin top layer to peel or strip
away from an inferior substrate like in other vinyl walls.
See the chart below for more information about
materials.
