As long as
there has been aquaculture, the
preservation of timber support posts has
been a major issue. Recently traditional timber preservation products
such as CCA (treated timber) or tar have
been identified as potentially harmful
to the environment & in some cases
have been banned or phased out. Plastic
Pole Vault provides an environmentally
friendly timber post that is non-toxic,
with no adverse leaching of chemicals. |
|
Other
techniques for timber protection in a
marine environment are to fit a plastic
sleeves over the timber in the form of
either a heavy gauge plastic film, fluming, or a plastic pipe covering a
timber post. Other methods have
significant drawbacks & are extremely
time consuming & add to the total
installation cost. |
|
Plastic
Pole Vault offers a product that is the
complete oyster post, rail & joiner without the
requirement of on site assembly & they
are easy to handle, pack, transport &
install. |
|
In
addition to the elements such as
moisture & sun exposure, oyster
farmers have the added problem of the
marine borer. Plastic Pole Vault posts
are ideal in marine, tropical or wet
environments, since plastic is inert in
seawater, & they are not susceptible
to marine borers, salt, water, or
barnacles. |
|
Plastic
Pole Vault posts have the strength &
rigidity of timber, combined with the
protective properties & toughness of
plastic, they are flexible enough to be
break resistant if hit by barges or
boats & sturdy enough to survive
strong tides & storms. |
|
The UV
resistant outer plastic shell on the
Plastic Pole Vault post has enough
“give” in it so that it can be drilled,
screwed, bolted & stapled to attach
standard fittings & clips, so the
racks can rise & fall with the tides. |
|
So when
you compare cost, rigidity (especially
after sun exposure), weight, appearance,
& longevity, that is when Plastic Pole
Vault posts offer benefits to
aquaculturists that far exceed
alternative products. |
