Our power connection poles are commonly installed as permanent consumer poles in rural properties or used temporarily in urban areas during construction to maintain a safe and compliant electricity supply.

Whether you’re a property owner, builder, electrical contractor, or working on behalf of a local council, our poles are built to support a reliable electrical connection and meet all relevant safety and design standards across Australia.

Custom Manufactured Power Poles

We stock standard sizes of 6.5 metres and 7.8 metres, however we can custom manufacture to longer lengths or larger CHS pipe diameters to suit specific site conditions or terrain requirements. Our shorter 2.9 metre half poles, available in both circular CHS and Square SHS, are often used during housing construction. The SHS half pole includes pre-welded brackets to fit a full or half metre box, plus a cable slot at the base to simplify electrical work.

These poles are well-suited for a range of private power pole installation needs, including private power pole replacement and temporary disconnected cable situations where rapid setup and safe reconnection to the electricity grid are critical.

Australian Standards

All poles are manufactured to strict Australian Design Standards and built to comply with Western Power and Alinta technical requirements. This helps to maintain safety, manage electrical hazards, and ensure safe clearances in both urban and rural environments.

Specifications

Manufactured in steel CHS pipe and hot-dipped galvanised to resist corrosion, these poles are engineered for longevity and electrical safety compliance. We stock sizes ranging from 2.9 to 7.8 metres in height and 114mm to 165mm in diameter. Each electricity pole is supplied with the required fittings to enable seamless service connection to power lines, meter boxes, and other infrastructure.

Our standard stock is designed for direct burial, but we can also fabricate baseplate-mounted poles for slab or hardstand installations.

Custom Colours

As with the rest of our pole range, Power Connection Poles are supplied fully galvanised for durability. For projects with architectural or community requirements, we offer powder coating in a wide range of colours. See our powder coating specifications for available finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Power poles have a minimum height requirement of 4.5 metres above ground. This may be higher in certain circumstances, particularly when the pole needs to clear trees, fences, or uneven ground.

As a general rule, a pole should be buried around 12% of its total length. Ground conditions can affect this depth, i.e., sandy or loose soil may require a deeper set to maintain safety and stability.

If you plan to dig deeper than 900mm within 1,500mm of a power pole, contact your local power authority first. Digging too close without proper advice can result in electrical hazards and service disruption.

In most cases, property owners are responsible for the installation, replacement, and maintenance of poles located on private property, including shared private poles. Your local power provider (such as Western Power in WA) is responsible for network poles beyond the connection point.

While galvanised steel poles can last for decades, it’s good practice to periodically inspect them, especially after storms, near trees, or in high-risk areas. A damaged or fallen power pole must be replaced promptly to restore safe and reliable power.

Pole replacement involves disconnecting the existing pole, removing or repairing the foundation, and installing a new pole with all required fittings and cables. This should always be performed by a qualified electrical contractor in line with the Electrical Safety Act. We supply poles that are ready for installation and can support the whole process with technical advice.

The cost of a private power pole replacement varies depending on the size, installation method (buried or baseplate), and any additional components such as cross arms or meter box brackets. For an accurate quote, speak to our team about your site conditions and specifications.

A utility pole supports overhead power lines and associated equipment like transformers and service cables. In private installations, it serves to connect your property safely and reliably to the electricity network.
