Magnolia Beach Hut, an elevated coastal house raised on pilings, with a covered porch across the front and a stair up from the ground

By foundation

House Plans on Pilings and Stilts

Thirty-eight house plans on pilings, from 1,144 to 3,699 square feet, with two to six bedrooms. Any plan drawn on piers can be ordered on pilings at no extra charge. Pilings are what most people call stilts. They are long posts set deep in the ground, so the house stays in place when a storm surge washes the sand away around them. That is why a V zone lot needs them. On many A zone lots, piers on footings are enough. Your flood map shows which zone you are in. Each plan page lists its foundation options, and a local engineer sizes the pilings for your site.
