Treated Poles for Sale: Our Full Range of Sizes

We stock a comprehensive range of treated poles, classified by diameter (measured at the top, or thinner, end of the pole). This means you can match the right pole to the right job — from light screening work right through to heavy structural use.

Pole Diameters

  • 20mm – 32mm — Intengu Laths: Ideal for screens; available in 3m and 3.6m lengths.
  • 32mm – 50mm — Treated Droppers: Available in lengths up to 2.4m.
  • 50mm – 75mm
  • 75mm – 100mm: A common thickness for standard fencing poles.
  • 100mm – 125mm
  • 125mm – 150mm: Heavier poles for structural and larger-scale applications.

We stock the above in a variety of lengths from 1.2m all the way up to 7.2m, so whatever the scale of your project, we can supply a pole to suit.

Why Our Treated Poles Stand Out

Not all treated poles are equal. When you buy from Durban Poles, you are buying poles that meet strict quality standards — which matters enormously when the pole is going to be holding up a fence, a jungle gym or a structure for years to come.

  • SABS approved: All our poles carry the official SABS stamp of approval.
  • Treated to H4 level: We treat all our poles to H4 level as per SAWPA (the South African Wood Preservers Association) standards. H4 treatment is suitable for poles that are in ground contact and exposed to occasional moisture — exactly what most fencing and structural poles need.
  • Deep treatment penetration: The CCA treatment penetrates at least 13mm into the wood, in line with SABS requirements, so the protection is more than skin-deep.
  • Anti-split plates fitted: Each pole comes fitted with an anti-split plate (gangnail) at both ends, clearly marked with the official SABS stamp.
  • Regularly inspected: Our poles are regularly inspected by SABS representatives to ensure consistent quality and compliance.

This attention to quality is why the name Durban Poles has become synonymous with treated poles in the Durban and Upper Highway area.

What Are Treated Poles?

Treated poles are timber poles that have been pressure-treated with a preservative to protect them against rot, moisture, insects and general outdoor wear. Untreated wood simply does not last in Durban’s humid, coastal environment — it absorbs moisture, attracts termites and borers, and deteriorates quickly. Treated poles are specifically designed to handle these conditions, making them the reliable choice for any outdoor structure that needs to stand the test of time.

At Durban Poles, every pole we sell is pressure-treated with CCA — Copper, Chrome and Arsenic. In this treatment, the Copper and Chrome act as preservatives, while the Arsenic protects the wood against insect damage. The result is a strong, long-lasting pole built for South African outdoor conditions.

What Can You Use Treated Poles For?

Treated poles are one of the most versatile building materials available. Customers buy our poles for a huge range of projects, including:

  • Fencing — boundary fences, security fencing, farm and smallholding fencing.
  • Agriculture and landscaping — vineyards, animal enclosures, garden features.
  • Jungle gyms and play structures — strong, safe, treated timber for outdoor play.
  • Obstacle courses and outdoor gyms.
  • Decking and outdoor structures — pergolas, carports, screens and more.
  • Construction site use — temporary fencing, bracing and site establishment.

Because our poles come in such a wide range of diameters and lengths, you can use the same trusted supplier for everything from a delicate garden screen to a heavy-duty structural build.

Frequently Asked Questions
