Hardwood Building Pole Supply

DTM Timber supplies hardwood building poles for structural building, pole home, deck, veranda and outdoor construction applications. Building poles provide a structural framework that can extend from ground level through the floor structure to form visible support columns above the foundation line.

Building poles are commonly used where strong, durable and visually natural round timber supports are required. They are suited to residential, rural, architectural and outdoor building projects requiring reliable in-ground performance.

Unlike conventional square posts, round building poles can provide both structural support and architectural character. Their natural appearance makes them a popular choice for elevated homes, outdoor living areas and projects where exposed timber forms part of the finished design.

DTM building poles are treated to Hazard Level 5 (H5), conforming to AS 2209. This treatment increases resistance to fungal decay and insect attack, making the poles suitable for in-ground use, including difficult and reactive soil conditions.

Building & Structural Applications

Hardwood building poles are used where structural support, in-ground durability and natural timber appearance are required.

Common Applications

Pole homes
Deck and veranda supports
Raised floor structures
Outdoor buildings and shelter
Rural and residential construction
Architectural round timber features

Key Features

H5 Treatment & Durability

Building poles are supplied treated to H5 hazard level for applications involving in-ground contact and higher exposure conditions. H5 treatment is used for timber products where durability against decay and insect attack is required in severe service environments.

The preservative treatment helps protect the timber against fungal decay, termite attack and other wood-destroying organisms, supporting long-term service performance in building and external applications.

Correct design, drainage, installation and maintenance remain important for long-term performance, particularly where poles are used in-ground or exposed to weather.

Sizes & Supply Information

DTM Timber supplies building poles in a range of diameters and lengths depending on project requirements, species availability and current production schedules.

Final pole selection should consider the intended application, required diameter, length, in-ground depth, exposure conditions and engineering requirements.

Supply Information

Building pole selection should be based on project drawings, engineering requirements and intended service conditions. Important considerations include pole diameter, pole length, embedment depth, exposure conditions, structural loading and whether the pole will remain visible as part of the finished building design.

As building poles often perform both a structural and architectural role, consideration should also be given to appearance, pole straightness, exposed height and the overall visual outcome of the project. Early planning can assist in selecting the most suitable pole dimensions and installation requirements. Careful pole selection can also help achieve a consistent appearance across the finished structure.

Where poles are used as structural supports, engineering advice should be obtained to confirm suitability for the intended load and installation conditions.

Supply Information

Hardwood building poles are used across residential, rural and external construction projects where durable round timber members are required for support, elevation or visual character.
