Does anyone know where I can get some treated poles for a barn I am building. I need them aprox. 18' to 20'. Also I will be hanging about 3000' of 3 rail fence. I will need to get the wood for this as well. i live in middle TN between Nashville and Clarksville. Thanks for the help fellas!

HB,its getting harder to find poles their kinda considered hazardous and utilities are nervous about liability.Their are private contractors that do work for the utilities on highlines most of them will give you all you want it costs them to dispose of old poles.Frank C.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll have to do some research.

Cfarm, I'm in the Army (soon to be out) and after 3 tours in hell, I have enough saved up to finally build me a barn, fence off my property and finally get me some horses. Life long dream. Looks like it's finally going to come together.
