What to Look for in a Pole Contractor

Custom pultruded fiberglass poles are a great choice for outdoor applications. Not only are they long-lasting, but they are also highly resistant to abrasion, weathering, and the creep that occur when time becomes the factor. If you have a large building project coming up and need to find the ideal poles, pultruded fiberglass poles are one of your best options. They offer high quality and a great look that will last for years to come.

A pultruded fiberglass pole is made by injecting plastic foam into the polyethylene jacket of the product. Once the foam is cured, it is extruded through a die in the part and shaped. The plastic coating adds strength to the pole and makes it more durable. Since the poles have a thin plastic coating, they can also be sanded and painted to match the surrounding landscape and color of the surrounding buildings and other features in the immediate area where you will be using the poles.

When choosing a company to supply your custom pultruded fiberglass poles, it is important to find one with experience in the field. You want someone who can make the poles to your specific specifications, taking into account the surrounding area as well as your specific needs. Look at samples of pultruded fiberglass poles from previous jobs. Ask for a written estimate and be sure that you understand exactly what will be done. Be sure that you understand exactly what will be cut from the pole and ask if any of the custom pole cutting is done according to your specifications. It is a good idea to see samples of the pultruded fiberglass poles that the company offers to ensure that you are getting exactly what you want.

The company should also give you examples of other work that they have done in the past. Remember that pultruded fiberglass poles are heavier than other poles and can take quite a bit of force before they snap. If the company cannot show you any work completed in the past, consider looking somewhere else. Custom pultruded fiberglass poles come in a wide variety of lengths. You need to make sure that you get the longest length possible.

You may also want to ask about pole maintenance. Maintaining your

In short, you should look for a reputable company that has experience and offers quality custom pultruded fiberglass poles. They should offer you many options and allow you to make the best decision for your project. Look for a company with friendly customer service, lots of options and prices that won't kill your budget. To familiarize yourself with this topic, read this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass.
