Telephone poles for sale? Someone emailed today to ask where they could buy a used telephone pole. I’m not sure what would make them think this site has a phone pole on sale. However, I thought the idea was curious enough that I actually looked around and discovered that a telephone pole can be yours for the low, low price of $291. It may even be new — I didn’t ask.
Now, I’m not sure what you could do with a used telephone pole.
Maybe the wood is worth more than the pole, so it’s something you can salvage and process. I imagine you could start a little business reclaiming, repurposing and reselling utility poles and other salvage that are worth more when processed than when in original form. Anyone else got an idea? I’m used to seeing "work from home scam" ads on telephone poles, but perhaps you could turn a telephone pole into work from home!

Poles…
Most people use the telephone poles to build “Pole Barns”. Sheds and such! Very common for us Southerners. These poles are most useful, and last for years, as well they are exstremely durable. There are some local phone companies that will acutally sell you these poles “when they replace poles” There is a lot of good use for them, you can build from short to tall POLE BARNES. I’m presently awaiting a response from my local phone company, I need 1 post to make 3 posts out of for my rabbit barn!
I actually have about a dozen 12-15′used telephone poles I would like to sell. I live in Olympia WA.If anyone is interested give me a shout!!
The question about what telephone poles could be used for is not that hard to imagine. I know of several horse farms in my area that buy from power companies their used and busted poles and cut them into 8 feet lengths. Then they bury the poles in 2 to 3 feet deep and attach 2″ x 6″ lumber between the poles for fence. Once painted they look very nice and last a long time.
Ha! A year and a half later and here I am…you guessed it…looking for a telephone pole (used or new). They’re hard to find! So if you have one, or know where I can find one (40′ wood please) do let me know. For obvious economic reasons this must be somewhere in north-central Alberta. Hey, I thought I’d ask.
Thanks for your email, Art. I have a feeling that the buy & sell market for poles mostly deals with huge orders. It would be too expensive to ship them, otherwise!

I live in Duluth, MN. I’d love to buy a used telephone pole. I’d cut in in half and use it for runners for a bridge across a stream by our hunting cabin.
i have some telephone pole to sell. I live in Michigan. I was also wondering how much to sell them for
What can you do with a telephone pole? Stick two in the ground and run a zip line between them! We have customers all the time who use telephone poles when trees aren’t available.
