Pole Guard Options
You can purchase the kit for different pole types:
Wooden Power/Telecom Poles:
Includes two plate halves, four locking pins, 4 long spiral shank nails, twelve stainless-steel ties, four clamps, seven rollers, and installation instructions.
Round Steel or Concrete Power/Telecom Poles:
Includes two plate halves, four locking pins, 4 large L-Brackets, twelve stainless-steel ties, four clamps, seven rollers, and the installation instructions.
Together the pole guard components are packed in a heavy-duty plastic bag and shipped in a cardboard box. For smaller diameter poles less than 11” in diameter, a 38” flex tubing and coupling is required to wrap around the pole just above the Pole Guard plates to fill any gap between the pole and the Pole Guard system. This Flex Tube and coupler is an additional cost option.
Pole Guard is for a single pole. For new transmission/distribution lines, we recommend one Pole Guard kit for each pole – especially in rural areas where to mitigate expensive service calls due to animal ingress on a pole. The standard Pole Guard plates are designed for round pole geometry. Please inquire at sales@critterguard.org if you have other geometry such as square/rectangular. Critter Guard also offers custom manufacturing service for specific geometry poles. If you have any other questions regarding our Pole Guard package, please feel free contact us at sales@critterguard.org.
Critter Guard is always looking for new and innovative ways to deter critters, squirrels, and all animals. Through our Pole Guard and our Line Guard, we have been able to do just that. By protecting your power line poles, you will in return limit access to the power lines from critters who cause power outages.
