Product Overview

Stayless power poles are a modern alternative to the traditional stayed design. Instead of relying on metal support stays for stability, a stayless pole uses a heavier timber section set into a deeper concrete foundation. The result is a temporary power pole with a footprint of roughly one square metre — significantly less than a stayed pole that needs 3 metres of clearance in every direction.

This compact design makes stayless poles the preferred choice for tight residential lots, narrow frontages, and sites where stays would obstruct driveways, footpaths, or neighbouring properties. They're also popular on knockdown rebuild sites where space is limited during the demolition and construction phases.

Installation follows the same professional process as our stayed poles. Our licensed electricians bore the foundation, installs the pole, fits the meter box, and lodges the EWR with Energex — all within 48 hours of booking. The hire fee includes 12 weeks of rental and full removal at end of hire.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a stayless power pole?
A stayless pole is a self-supporting temporary power pole that doesn’t require metal support stays for stability. It uses a heavier pole section and deeper foundation to remain upright without external bracing. This gives it a much smaller ground footprint than a stayed pole.
When should I choose stayless over stayed?
Choose a stayless pole when your site is tight — narrow lots, builds close to boundaries, or where metal support stays would cross driveways or footpaths. If you have plenty of open space, a stayed pole is more cost-effective.
Is a stayless pole more expensive?
Yes, slightly. Stayless poles cost more than stayed poles due to the heavier pole section and deeper foundation required for self-support. For tight sites, the extra cost is well justified. Contact us for a quote.
How deep is the foundation for a stayless pole?
The foundation depth depends on soil conditions and pole height but is typically 1.2-1.5 metres deep. Our crew bores the hole with an auger truck and backfills with concrete for stability.
Can a stayless pole support three-phase power?
Yes. We supply stayless poles in both single phase and three phase configurations. Three-phase stayless poles are common on commercial sites where space is limited but higher power capacity is needed.
What happens to the foundation hole when the pole is removed?
When we collect the pole, we remove the concrete footing and backfill the hole with clean fill. The site is left level and ready for landscaping or further construction.
