Hoping someone can point me in the right direction....

I need a quantity of used utility poles. I use these as fence posts--but I have a bunch that are kinda rotted out, and need replacement. I also need some to fully extend my fence.

Can anyone tell me where to acquire some at a reasonable price?

Thanks!

Might want to check with Grays Harbor PUD....maybe they could sell you 2nds, or tell you who they get them from, or, maybe 'a guy knows a guy'.... :wink05:

What about RR ties?

With the switch to concrete ties becoming popular there are TONS of nice used ties available that were pulled long before being used up.

That's an idea. Where would I get some from?

There is a place on river road in puyallup that I bough 30 from years ago. Actually two places, one landscaping place and one specifically for railroad stuff. Last time I was there they had 4 grades of ties. 1 being junk and 4 being practically new. I went with number 2 that were 10 bucks each and half lasted 7 years on the ground as landscaping timbers. The other half rotted out. I image number 3s would be good for fence post.
