Pin Foundations was named one of the Top Ten Green Building Products in 2002 by Green Spec, an affiliate of Environmental Building News, and has been featured in several magazine articles, such as Landscape Architecture, Architecture, Environmental Building News, NW Builder Magazine, and Professional Deck Builder.

Pin Foundations is a low impact, no excavation foundation system that was originally designed by Richard Gagliano for boardwalks in sensitive areas and wetlands. Its uses have expanded to include decks and residential perimeter footings. Projects have been built in all parts of the United States and Japan for the past 15 years, and include many USFWS, US Forest Service, National Park Service, and Washington State Parks project installations.
