Benefits of Wood as a Utility Pole Material
• Long-Life Span• ~45 years national average without remedial treatment
• Lowest cost• Both initial and full life-cycle costs
• Proven Performance • “Go to” overhead line construction material since the
early 1900’s
• Climb-ability• Ability to service attachments without heavy equipment

• Supply Chain is Proven• Even in natural disaster events where demand is high, the wood
pole industry has provided poles in required timeline.
• Beneficial Physical Properties• Good insulator, resilience to wind and mechanical impacts
• Easy Maintenance and Modification in service
• “Green”• a treated wood pole has a reduced environmental impact when
compared to other utility pole materials.• A renewable and plentiful resource

• Tips average 1.5 to 2 classes larger
• Poles 55 ft and shorter• Maximum stress is usually at G/L– FSHE not applied• Maximum stress for guyed poles may be above G/L– Oversize offsets fiber stress height effect
• Poles 60 ft and taller• If maximum stress is at the G/L, no FSHE• If maximum stress is above ground, tables for
