PermaColumn Precast poles are constructed from high-quality precast concrete, providing unparalleled durability and longevity. These poles are designed to resist rot, decay, and insect damage, making them an ideal choice for structures requiring a long lifespan. Additionally, PermaColumn Precast poles are engineered to provide superior stability and structural support, ensuring the integrity of your building over time.

For a pole building site, it’s crucial to ensure certain conditions are met:
- The site should be within 3 inches of grade, with a smooth and level surface.
- Ensure the area is free of tree roots and debris, with a sod base for stability.
- Allocate approximately 10 feet of clear space around the perimeter for building equipment and ladders to maneuver comfortably.
- Prior to construction, the fill material must be compacted to achieve a minimum of 90% compaction, ensuring a solid foundation for the structure.
