Shot in the dark... telephone poles?

[McCracken]

Does anyone know where someone might be able to score some telephone poles? I know craiglist does but I'm talking more along the lines of 80-100 of them.

And just for whatever reason, how about any pole that's roughly 25' long and at least 4"-6" in diameter. My local sawmill ain't got squat.

Thanks.

Call your electrical utility. Mine sells them for $1.50 per foot, but do not currently have any for sale.

Wait about 2 months for the Carolina hurricane season. You'll have your pick of 'em soon enough...

Pole barn.

Or a strip joint for lumberjacks and the ladies that love them.

Call the City of Albemarle (704-984-9605) if they are close to you....
My dad works there in the electric division. He said they have some but probably not the numbers you're looking for, but every bit helps.
He said the lengths vary depending on how/why they were removed & they go for $15-$20 per pole. Only catch is you have to pick-up & load yourself.

albemarle is about 3 hours or better from me. $15-20 is a screaming deal IMO.
