Best Answer

This question has many variables. Some variables are; where the pole is situated, hot climate or cold climate, does the soil freeze in the winter time, soil conditions, wood used in the pole manufacturing, how well it was pressure treated or if it was pressure treated, how much wind loading the pole has to withstand. On the market now are new concrete poles that should be able to outlast any wooden pole. They of course are more expensive but in the long run less maintenance will be needed.
