Hello everyone, I'm reaching out about the process of replacing power poles privately. Anyone dealt with this lately who could share some tips?
Hi PoleMaster, I’ve just gone through this process. It’s important to first understand whether the defect notice came directly from Western Power. Clarifying this will help you know how to proceed.
Adding to what StormSentry said, weather is a major factor in Perth. Planning your pole replacement when the weather is stable is key to ensuring timely completion.

An important aspect is choosing the appropriate pole material. Wood and steel poles have varied lifespans and costs. Make sure to discuss with your installer about the best options for your specific needs.

I'd like to stress the importance of securing a reputable contractor. Your choice can significantly affect the success of the project. Check their credentials and past projects to ensure they’re up to the task.
Thanks for all the great advice. I'll be considering all these points as I move forward. Any last-minute advice before I start this project?
