Treated Wood Plugs
There are 22 sizes, lengths and quantities of treated wood plugs available from our large inventory. Poles, Inc.® famous camouflage colored 5-gallon pails, filled with plugs, can be found in the trucks of contractors all over North America. The pails offer an economical and easy to use option for shipping plugs. Treated wood plugs are treated with either Copper Naphthenate, CCA, or ACQ. Tight fitting plugs should be placed into all of the inspection and treatment holes that are placed into the pole during an inspection. Treated wood plugs are also used to fill abandoned bolt-holes in the above ground portion of the pole. Utility companies often move cross arms or reconfigured wood pole lines during there long service life. Leaving these holes open can allow for above ground decay or insect attack to develop.
