Check with your local department of transportation. Think for a moment.... Idiot hits pole, pole goes down. Pole bent or broken. DOT has to get rid of it. Before it goes to recycler, go get it for scrap value.
You may have to call a few DOT facilities to get what you want but a good size and still useable pole, after some modification, could be had for 100 to 200 bucks or even less depending on the local big shot. Been there. 80 foot pole with "slight" bend and elongated bolt holes.... 60 bucks! Another source...... Closed down gas stations along the interstate. Big twin poles for a sign, sign long gone. Expense is usually the time and equipment to take it down. I've had them given for free for the take down, lowers their insurance.

I have a need for a client to be up ~30' for a single 1' dish. That will be the only thing ever on the pole, so it won't be loaded. It can't be guyed, and they would prefer not Rohn or other lattice structure for aesthetics. We have been asked to use something like a streetlight pole. We have never used such a pole. Has anyone used one and do you have a source for the pole? Kevin First Step Internet, LLC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
