Scanpole – a leading producer of wooden poles in Europe with excellence in timber preservation.
We want to ensure that people across the world have access to quality materials for their infrastructures. We provide premium quality fencing posts for a wide range of agricultural and equestrian use.
Our long-lasting wooden poles are used in electrical grids, lighting networks and other infrastructure projects on all continents.
Our high quality timber comes from certified northern European forests where pine trees grow slowly, making wood exceptionally strong.
The UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) confirmed the continued approval of creosote-treated fencing posts for safety-critical uses, specifically applications requiring compliance with BS8417 service factor D. The approval is valid until 31 March 2033.
Scanpole’s fencing posts already met these requirements prior to the decision, meaning the ruling has no impact on production, sales, or distribution. The impregnation process used for Scanpole’s fencing posts is the same as that used for our telecommunications and electricity poles. High pressure impregnation combined with a long treatment time ensures a long service life for our products—an essential requirement for utility poles as well. ... See MoreSee Less
