When referring to round poles with bark, it means wooden poles that still have their bark on. These are often round softwood poles that need to be installed for a certain type of foundation. These poles are untreated and, depending on the project, may or may not have a point on the thinner end. For European softwood poles, this point is usually made with a chainsaw. If pointed, a square point is typically applied. Poles with a fish-mouth point are also supplied for foundation works. With a fish-mouth point, the end is processed so that it finishes in a sharp point with the sides cut at an angle. This gives the end a shape that somewhat resembles the opened mouth of a fish.
Wooden piles in bark are primarily used in the foundations of light construction structures. For example, wooden piles in bark are used in house building, in drainage works, and in road construction projects. The piles are also commonly referred to as foundation piles.
The posts are untreated and mostly made of European softwood.
