It is illegal in many states tho I am not sure about NH. The poles are the property of the utility. Staples and nails used to attach signs pose a danger to line workers and that is why many states have laws against u authorized attachments

Please tell me that was sarcasm. Anything sharp caN damage the protective rubber gloves electric line workers wear, rendering them useless for protecting against electrical contact.

So if you think I am being funny, you are an AH.

Lmao I’m actually a lineman and I promise you no one is going up there to staple anything at the top of the pole where you would actually where your rubbers. All staples are obviously at the bottom and aren’t really a problem lol

Unless you have to climb the pole. Without benefit of aerial lift.

Legal or not, this is a good reason to not do it.

Edit: especially during a time where line workers are going to be working A LOT due to a storm.
