Brits Poles

• We are an accredited manufacturer of Transmission Poles according to SANS:754 Specifications

• We supply Transmission Poles to our Clients in South Africa and also export to our Clients in the rest of Africa

• Our Quality Transmission Poles are used for Electricity Distribution, Telecom applications and Fibre Network development

• Our Transmission Poles may be treated with Creosote or CCA (Copper Chrome Arsenate)

• Creosote is an oil-based chemical that is applied to timber with heat and pressure. It has excellent preservative characteristics and has been used for many years

• CCA (Copper Chrome Arsenate) is a concentrate that is mixed with water and applied through pressure at ambient temperatures. Many prefer CCA due to its cleaner and easier handling. CCA doesn’t leave a residue or a smell that is associated with Creosote (Transmission Poles)

• We are an accredited manufacturer of Building and Fencing Poles according to SANS:457-3 and SANS:1288 Specifications

• Our Building and Fencing Poles are most often used in Agriculture

  • Vineyards

  • Fencing

  • Shade Net Construction

• Our Building and Fencing Poles are also perfect for DIY Projects (Lapas, “Lean-To” roofs, Fences, Parking Areas and many more)

• Building and Fencing Poles are available in Creosote or CCA (Copper Chrome Arsenate) treatments. Creosote Poles are often referred to as “Tarred Poles” and CCA develop a green hue after treatment from the Copper that oxidases

• In some instances we also supply Untreated Timber poles

• The Degree of Treatment depends on the use of the Poles, but generally range from

  • H3 (Above ground Exterior, No Ground-Contact - e.g. Droppers)

  • H4 (Exterior, Ground Contact - e.g. Fencing, “Lean-To” Roofs or Simple Structures)

  • H5 (Exterior, Ground Contact, Higher Moisture Soil – e.g. Vineyards)

• We supply Clients all across South Africa (Gauteng, North West, Northern Cape, Western Cape, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Limpopo and Orange Free State) and we also export Building and Fencing Poles to Botswana, Namibia, Zambia or wherever a Client might need us

• We are an accredited manufacturer of SANS:1288 Products

• These Products are typically Droppers and Laths. They are usually thinner than poles and are therefore only treated to H3 Specifications

• Droppers are mainly used in the construction of Fences but can be used as decorative to build wind-breaks (e.g. at a Lapa or as a cover for a water-tank)

• Laths are mainly used in Thatch-constructions but also makes an excellent decorative shade roof for a porch or a ‘lean-to’

• These Products are available in Creosote or CCA treatments

• We manufacture and treat a wide range of Home Improvement Products such as:

  • Garden Edging

  • Garden Trellises

  • Sawn “Plankies” in Saligna and Pine

  • Timber Wall Panels

  • Square Posts

  • Picket Fencing

  • Post and Rail Fencing

• We also supply Firewood, ideal for those cold Winter nights

Our range of treated or untreated products for Commercial and Industrial Application includes:

• Guardrail Posts – used on Road Construction when putting up Guardrails next to roads

• Slab Poles – similar to Dunnage and also used to create temporary walkways in the mining sector
• Shavings – Bagged in 7kg bags or in Bulk Bags. Usually used for Chicken Farms or Horse Farms to create a ground-cover for animals

For the convenience of our favourite people, our Customers, we have built the Brits Poles Express depots. Transport costs a lot and many of our valued Customers come from far to buy our quality poles. Our aim is to offer the same great quality and service, closer to your door.

The Brits Poles Express depots are a smaller version of the bigger Brits Poles Retail Store with maybe less of the ‘nice-to-have’ products and more of the ‘what-you-need-urgently’ products. The service is fast and friendly. If a Brits Poles Express depot does not have what you want, we can have it brought from the Brits Poles Retail Store with the very next order.

The Brits Poles Express depots offer the following products:

• Treated Poles
• Untreated Poles
• Planks
• Thatching Grass
• Varnish and Timber Treatment products
• Threaded Rods, Bolts and Nuts
• Brackets, Screws and Fasteners

Being closer to our Customers, make our products more accessible and saves on Transport.
