What it checks
Estimate a tapered wood pole diameter at a selected height above ground from measured pole geometry.
Engineering Zone
Utility Pole Diameter Calculator
Calculate wood utility pole diameter at a specified height using ground-line circumference and pole taper.
Using this calculator
Inputs and method
Provide the ground-line circumference, taper, and target height. An optional top circumference allows the target height to be checked against the pole tip.
Design use
Use verified field measurements and the applicable pole specification. This geometry check does not determine structural capacity or remaining pole strength.
Engineering aid only. Verify the inputs, assumptions, results, and applicable project requirements before use in a final design.
