Uses for Old Telephone Poles

When I was a kid we used them for horse stalls, hitching post, & corner post for the pastures. Worked great!

Here in Mississippi I have seen them used all over the state as corner post for fence building. Of course these days everything that has been used for many years causes something.I'm not saying cresoate does'nt cause cancer. I do know these telephone poles are in the ground alot deeper than a corner post would be.

The ones I got were pretty much devoid of creosote and didn't even smell of it. I used them for all sorts of things. I used them for some erosion control structures, fence posts, a gate, a bridge, a bin of sort for rock, sand and mulch as cosmic mentioned, a lean-to among other little projects.

I used some to make a deer hunting shelter built into a hillside in the woods. Built it into the hill and used logs for the sides, front top and support posts. Quite roomy and in a perfect spot to observe deer trails and feeding areas. A couple of friends call it a bunker because it looks like some sort of fortification. I guess it does kinda look that way plus I have sandbags along the front wall for shooting rests. Does make me feel a little safer if I hear some yahoos over in the next section shooting in my direction.
