This sheet is produced in compliance with the requirements of the Building (Building Product Information Requirements) Regulations 2022. Under Schedule 1 of those regulations certain information must be disclosed about designated building products (in this case construction poles of Radiata pine) to provide building product users with data about how building products contribute to compliance with the Building Code. 

Preservative treated wooden construction poles of Radiata pine are graded for physical properties and preservative treated for durability.

Grading - poles must be graded in accordance with NZS3605 Timber piles and poles used in building. Clause 5 of this standard sets out the requirements for construction poles and piles in terms of:

1 Physical properties: - Construction poles and piles are limited to those characteristic stresses that are given in NZS/AS1720 Part 1.2022.

2 Form: - Construction poles and piles shall comply with 5.2 of NZS3605 relating to limits on sweep and crook.

3 Preservative treatment: - All preservative treated wooden construction poles and piles of Radiata pine must be treated to at least Hazard class H5 as described and specified in AS/NZS1604.2021 Preservative treated wood-based products. H6 treated poles are necessary where the poles are to be used in a marine environment such as in wharf and jetty piles in salt water and for walkway or bridge pilings across estuarine ground.

4 Dimensions: 5.3 of NZS3605 states that the length and diameter of construction poles and piles shall be as specified by the designer as part of a specific engineering design.
