Composite
Structures™ Tuff-Poles® come in textured, smooth, and veil finishes
to accomodate your needs. Poles, arms,
and accessories are coated
with a proprietary, polyurethane coating that is pigmented throughout
in the finished color of the pole.
All Tuff-Poles incorporate UV-resistance into resin and coatings
for maximum life in adverse weather conditions.
 Bef ore being coated,
smooth-finish poles undergo several
additional finishing steps to achieve their slick surface. Still
hot from initial manufacturing, the
poles are wound with an additional resin-impregnated, pigmented
polyester cloth. After curing and cooling, they're polished
before
receiving their finish coat of pigmented polyurethane.
Once the Tuff-Pole shafts are
made and coated, the final manufacturing step is to outfit them for use
in
the customer's specific application. That means adding pole caps,
tenons,
anchor bases, etc., and drilling the poles to accept a variety of mast
arms,
brackets, or other specified attachments. Handholes and wiring entrance openings are cut
into the pole
in the specified positions. In addition, holes are predrilled for
a
variety of other attachments that are to be assembled on the
installation site,
including arms, brackets, etc.
