    Default And it starts again.....

    Here we go again prepping our latest job. 107 poles to dress. Mainly singles this time. ( Only a few H poles) . We are laying them out.... Ready to build. And then the helicopter is coming out in a few weeks to fly them out to position for us.....

    DO ya know what the markigs engraved in to the pole mean ????

    I DO....... Ha Ha.... Might tell ya latter...... ( Or not ).

    We have a line design ... Sso every pole is numberd and dressed for a specific location.

    Default Pole breands

    Here in the states it gives you all the info for the pole. The class, the height, what it is treated with and how much, what company made it,the species of the wood, and when it was made. It is at ten feet from the butt until you get to fifty footers ( I think) then it is fourteen feet.
    Or in your case Bren it would all be metric. LOL
    If you can build it you can fix it!

    Default partly.....

    Partly right....... The top bit of lettering 9.5 mts and its a stout pole.. ( 9.5 s). There are three types. Stout medium and light.....

    The line denotes 3mts... "Around 10 ft.. ( We call it "the birth mark". ) So when you walk up to a pole in the ground you can tell exactly how deep its in the ground.
