A post installation bracket for installing posts on a base such as a concrete slab is provided. The post installation bracket includes a leveling plate with at least one leveling element and an anchoring bolt securing assembly configured to securely receive a first end of an anchoring bolt, a second end of the anchoring bolt distal to the first end securely anchored into the base. The post installation bracket further includes at least one leveling bolt securely fastened to each of the at least one leveling elements, the at least one leveling bolt used to position the leveling plate and post with respect to the base.

A pole including a plurality of truncated cones arranged in a linear array to form the pole, wherein each truncated cone receives an adjacent truncated cone within its interior. Each truncated cone in the pole is formed from a veneer by moving the longitudinal edges of the veneer towards each other. A method of manufacturing the pole and various uses of the pole are also provided.

A multi-functional wooden pole according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has improved erectness due to a tendon is proposed. The multi-functional wooden pole is capable of maintaining a stable erection state while easily responding to a wind load even when an object having a predetermined weight is installed on an upper side of the wooden pole in a longitudinal direction thereof.

Laminated wood tower including a plurality of curved modules attached to each other, where each curved module includes a plurality of layers, where each layer includes a plurality of laminated plies, and where a layer includes a first set of plies, where the first set of plies includes a plurality of plies arranged adjacent each other and where the wood grain is directed in a first direction, and a second set of plies, where the second set of plies includes one or more plies arranged adjacent each other and where the wood grain is directed in a second direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The advantage is that a self-supporting laminated wood tower can be obtained in an easy and cost-effective way.

A method of forming a support pole, comprising splitting one or more canes of bamboo, or similar tubular plant material, into a plurality of split lengths; inserting a bundle of the split lengths from one or more canes into an outer tube (4); tilting the outer tube (4) at an angle from horizontal and injecting a matrix material into the outer tube (4) so as to fill in between the split lengths and encapsulate the split lengths to form a substantially solid core. The method may comprise injecting the matrix material at multiple injection points (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d) along the length of the tube (4).
