How Vinyl Seawalls Help Contractors Save Time, Money, and Headaches

Let’s be real: nobody got into marine construction for the easy days.

There’s mud, cold hands, broken augers, and permits that read like legal riddles. So when something actually saves you time on the jobsite and money on the back end—without sacrificing durability—you’d be nuts not to consider it. That’s the reality of working with Atlantis vinyl sheet piling.

Speed matters

Traditional materials like steel take time. You’re moving heavy product, needing bigger crews, and working around the inevitable delays when material doesn’t show or your supplier’s “quick delivery” means next month.

Vinyl? It’s lighter. Easier to cut and maneuver. One contractor we work with in Highland, MI told us his crew shaved nearly a full day off install time on a midsize residential seawall—just by switching to Atlantis vinyl.

Less damage, less drama

Steel might be strong, but it also rusts. Wood’s affordable, but maintenance is a nightmare. And when either of those fails, guess who gets the call? You.

Atlantis vinyl is corrosion-resistant and has built-in UV protection. Install it right, and you won’t be fielding frustrated client calls every spring when ice melts and problems appear.

Margins you can feel good about

Let’s talk numbers. With less labor time, lower equipment needs, and long-term product performance, vinyl seawall systems can increase your project margins—and still offer a great value for your customers.

Plus, when you source through Michigan Erosion Supply, you’re getting real pricing transparency. No games. No huge markups. Just contractor-focused support and a regional understanding of what actually works in Michigan’s environment.
