Bartlett Square Bottom Extension Pole When grip and rigidity matter most, the Bartlett Square Bottom Extension Pole is the professional's choice. Engineered for arborists who demand maximum stiffness and control, this square-profile fiberglass pole is noticeably stiffer and easier to grip than traditional round poles — giving you better leverage and more precise tool placement when working aloft. The square design features a non-conductive, built-in internal button-lock connection system, making it fast and secure to connect pole sections without additional hardware. Like all Bartlett poles, it's built to professional-grade standards and designed for use with pole pruners, pole saws, and wire raising tools. Important: Square poles 8 feet and longer must be shipped freight and do NOT qualify for free shipping.

Square poles are stiffer and easier to grip than round poles, which makes them better for situations requiring more control and leverage. However, they are also heavier and more costly than round poles. Does this pole require freight shipping? Yes — square poles 8 feet and longer must be shipped freight and do not qualify for free shipping. How does the connection system work? The square pole uses a non-conductive built-in internal button-lock system that securely connects pole sections without the need for additional sleeves or hardware. Is this pole safe to use near power lines? The fiberglass construction is non-conductive, which provides an added layer of safety when working near electrical hazards. Always follow ANSI Z133 safety standards when working near utilities.
