ABSTRACT:
A new and improved utility pole reinforcement system includes an elongated pole splint driven into the ground adjacent the pole and having contact surfaces adapted to engage and support the surface thereof. The splint includes a structural body spaced outwardly of the pole providing increased resistance to stress applied to the pole. A pair of brackets are spaced apart longitudinally on the body portion of the splint, each bracket having opposite end portions extending laterally outwardly and a tension strap assembly for binding the pole and splint together is connected to opposite end portions of each bracket. Each strap assembly includes at least one elongated strap of relatively thin flexible material conforming generally to the surface of the pole and formed with a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart apertures. Clips are provided for supporting threaded elements for connecting the clips and the bracket end portions and each clip includes a pair of hook elements designed to seat in hooked engagement within selected apertures in the flexible strap so as to be readily adjustable to provide for poles of varying diameters.
