Where do wooden telephone poles come from?
Different length poles, up to 120 feet (36.6 m) or more, are used to satisfy clearance requirements, but the standard utility pole in the US is about 40 feet (12.2 m) long and is buried about 6 feet (1.8 m) in the ground, for a height above ground of about 34 feet (10.4 m).[2] They are spaced about 125 feet (38 m) apart. Joint use poles are usually owned by one utility, which leases space on it for other cables. In the USA the National Electrical Safety Code, published by the IEEE, sets the standards for construction and maintenance of utility poles and their equipment. Most utility poles are made of wood, pressure-treated with some type of preservative for protection against rot, fungi and insects. Southern Yellow Pine is the most widely used species in the United States, however many species of long straight trees are used to make utility poles, including Douglas fir, Jack Pine, Lodgepole Pine, Western Red Cedar and Pacific Silver Fir. Traditionally the preservative used was creosote, but due to environmental concerns, alternatives such as pentachlorophenol, copper naphthenate and borates are becoming widespread in the US. For over 100 years the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) has developed the standards for preserving wood utility poles. Despite the preservatives, wood poles decay and have a life of approximately 25-50 years, depending on climate and soil conditions, therefore requiring regular inspection and remedial preservative treatments.[3][4][5] Other common utility pole materials are steel and concrete, with composites (fibreglass) also becoming more prevalent. One particular patented utility pole variant, used in Australia, is the Stobie pole.
