Abstract
Although pressure treatment with preservatives effectively protects Douglas-fir from biological deterioration, the treatment penetrates only the narrow sapwood band, leaving the heartwood core untreated. This core is frequently exposed by marine chafing resulting from misaligned piles, heavy tidal surging, or marina characteristics. Several simple antichafing devices, identified and illustrated here, are recommended for minimizing the detrimental effects of chafing.
