The pine scouting poles are available in various lengths. These poles are peeled, meaning they are not perfectly round and have a rough appearance. Our poles are of top quality and also very durable. They are often used in scouting, hence they are also called pioneer poles. The peeled pioneer poles are multifunctional and are frequently used for building rafts, towers, bridges, and other play structures.
Furthermore, the poles are chamfered on both ends, meaning they have not been further processed after being sawn.
Common sizes:
Length 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m, 8m and 9m
Diameter 7/8cm, 8/9cm and 9/10cm
Maintenance and Tips
It is wise to store wood dry to prevent cracking. Proper ventilation of the wood is particularly important to prevent mould.
Don't put them on the floor. Store them on battens or bearers.
Don't place them too close together, to avoid slowing down the drying process.
Check for splinters before use
If necessary, manually or mechanically mill
Treat both ends with varnish or wood oil for a longer lifespan. If desired, you can choose to use impregnated posts which are better protected against weathering due to their treatment. Impregnated posts
Instead of impregnated posts, opt for other durable types of wood such as chestnut posts
