8-foot HDPE shield
A heavy-duty polyethylene envelope slides over the lower pole before embedment, protecting the below-grade section and ground-line interface.
Protection where poles need it most
Extend the life of every wooden utility pole.
Pole Boot creates a durable barrier at and below ground level—helping protect wood, contain preservatives, and reduce premature replacement.
- Double-envelope protection at and below grade
- Resists punctures, tears, and abrasion
- Fast installation with no ongoing maintenance
Ground-line protection
Protect the point where wooden poles fail first.
Ground line is where moisture, insects, microorganisms, and physical abrasion converge. Pole Boot isolates this vulnerable transition zone with a durable outer envelope—helping utilities preserve installed assets and defer premature replacement.
Sealed at grade
Mastic forms the seal at ground level. A galvanized steel band wraps the assembly tightly before it is mechanically fastened to the pole.
Built for soil contact
HDPE resists soil-borne punctures, tears, and abrasion while providing a biologically inert, non-biodegradable barrier.
Performance and lifecycle value
Small intervention. Long-term asset value.
Longer service life
Isolation from subterranean moisture, pests, and decay vectors can add a decade or more to pole service life, helping defer capital replacement.
Preservative containment
The envelope contains creosote or CCA preservatives around the pole, reducing migration into surrounding soil and groundwater.
Simple installation
Installation uses a utility knife, tin snips, and a hammer. No specialized equipment or training is required.
Lower ongoing maintenance
The installed system requires no routine physical maintenance and is designed to support a 30-to-50-year operating horizon.
