Insider talked with Benjamin Pearson the company’s Insider Sales Representative.
What lengths of wood can you provide for billboards?
Almost all poles for signage are under 50 feet. We send small batches of poles that are shorter than 30’, but most are 30’-40’.
Is the wood treated?
We treat with four preservatives – CCA, Penta, DCOI, and CuNAP. Three oilborne preservatives as well as a waterborne option.
Can you ship to all parts of the country?
We are a nationwide company with Bell plants, yards, and facilities on the East Coast, West Coast, and throughout the Midwest. We ship anywhere including internationally.
How about pricing?
Pricing differs greatly depending on the pole diameter, length, quantity, and destination. In most cases we can compete very well against steel solutions. We even offer a steel-to-wood meeting where we discuss the benefits of wood solutions. If you would like a ballpark estimate of our material costs I can give you an outline over the phone. You can call me at 651-203-1126.
Any other products?
Lastly, we also offer crane mats and access mats for installing in difficult terrain.
