The book offers a general introduction to timber poles as a
construction material. Timber poles have served throughout history
as a low-cost, environmentally friendly and structurally efficient
building resource. As a result of the establishment of both
commercial plantations and community forestry programs worldwide,
the availability of forestry thinnings for poles is rapidly
increasing and the potential for their use has never been
greater.The book covers the processes of harvesting and protecting
the poles through to specific applications in the construction of
domestic and industrial buildings, and other types of construction
such as bridges and retaining walls. Key areas of preservation and
jointing are addressed in detail and there are illustrations
throughout. This manual intends to be descriptive rather than
prescriptive, providing ideas that can be developed into solutions
depending on specific circumstances and a number of case studies
show some ideas put into action.This new edition will be a useful
guide not only to field practitioners in housing and construction
projects, but will also be of interest to the non-specialist.
