Affordable alternative to replacing timber utilities poles

Doug Reeves
The golden rule in life is, when you look after something it lasts longer. The same rule applies for timber utility poles – which is where TimberBond comes in. 

No matter where you are, utility poles will always be in sight. Whether it is for the supply of electricity or mobile communication, timber utility poles represent a tremendous portion of a utility provider’s assets. Unfortunately due to woodpeckers, termites and the rise in harsh weather conditions the expected life span of a timber utility pole is only 35+/- years though with care and maintenance this can be extended up to 75+ years, more than doubling their life expectancy.

Conserving these large, essential timber poles is highly recommended and necessary, however it is often a costly procedure and leaves us in a tricky debate as to whether we should replace or repair utility poles. The answer is simple! TimberBond is a cost-effective solution that meets a variety of different restoration needs. This includes repairing holes caused by woodpeckers and termites as well as grain splitting. TimberBond ensures a fully functional, extended life from beginning to end and can be found in two formulations.

TimberBond NSG

The fastest, cleanest most economical dual component formula for restoration and maintaining a pest free long lasting clean look to your timber utility pole. Not only does it ensure a clean look, it features a leak proof restoration and maintenance system that allows for minimal need for external constant repair. TimberBond NSG is recommended for internal and external restoration and ensures long life.

TimberBond VFG

A low viscosity hard-wearing two component formula mainly used for a vast penetration to restore areas that have been damaged by harsh weather known as decay. To achieve the most effective restoration and avoid decay it is recommended to first apply TimberBond VFG and complete the repair with TimberBond NSG.
