Tapered Poles
Our tapered poles will vary in width and length.
Anything 16′ and over in length we consider to be a pole.
All of our poles are measuring 5-10″ in width or thickness on the small ends.
The big end or the other end will measure considerably bigger depending on the length of the pole.
A 35-foot-long tapered pole will have a bigger end than a 25-foot-long tapered pole.
