POLECRAFT SOLUTIONS
About The Poles
As we harvest poles we support the well-being of Northern California timber lands with proper thinning practices. This reduces wildfire risk and allows the forest to replenish itself naturally.
​
When appropriate, we combine the graceful interlocking joinery of traditional techniques with modern metal fasteners to fulfill design specifications.
Durability
-
Our tight-grained high-quality timbers are braced with time proven interlocking joinery giving the structure super durability, even under extreme weather and earth shake.
​
-
The un-severed surface grain of our logs is engineered by nature and needs no planing, sanding, or painting. The continuous fibers through the length of the pole provide superior tensile strength for extreme durability.

-
Added protection from thickly plastered straw bales or bamboo reinforced cob walls allow these buildings to prevail through the harshest of circumstances.
Aesthetics

Polecraft buildings nourish their occupants with a timeless grace borrowed from Old European and early Colonial timber-frame structures, further enhanced with a Southwestern flair.

Simple, clear contours and curved surfaces are not just pleasing to the eye and the soul, they also provide practical benefits: consistently comfortable temperatures, gorgeous light quality, and naturally purified air.
