What our customers are saying about Biewer Pole:


"We were purchasing southern yellow pine poles but Red Pine is straighter. The linemen say Red Pine poles are easier to climb. Also, it’s handy for us to deal with Biewer, because they are local. We really like Biewer and Red Pine poles."

"I know when I receive a load of Biewer’s Red Pine poles I won’t have to worry about my coworkers complaining about straightness. Biewer’s Poles always come in straight as arrows. Linemen like the climb ability of them. That makes two headaches I don’t have to worry about when buying our utility poles."
