Hello everyone, I'm reaching out about private power pole replacements in Perth. Anyone dealt with this lately who could share some insights?

Hi PoleMaster, I’ve recently handled a similar situation. It’s important to first understand whether your notice is from Western Power or if it's a private advisory. Getting this sorted will help you know how to proceed.

Adding to what StormSentry said, weather is a major factor in Perth. Planning your pole replacement when the weather is stable is key to avoiding delays.

An important aspect is choosing the appropriate pole material. Different materials like wood or steel have distinct advantages and drawbacks. Ensure you consult your contractor the most suitable choice for your particular situation.

I'd like to stress the importance of finding an experienced installer. Your choice can significantly affect the success of the project. Check their credentials and past projects to verify they’re capable.

Thanks for all the great advice. I'm taking into account all these aspects as I plan my next steps. Any further tips as I get ready to begin?
