Octagonal Pole Weight Calculator
Here is a simple table showing the estimated weight of octagonal wooden poles based on different lengths, diameters, and a standard wood density of 600 kg/m³. The formula used to calculate the weight is based on the volume of the octagonal prism and then multiplying it by the wood’s density.

Explanation:
- Length (m): This is the length of the pole in meters.
- Diameter (m): This is the diameter across the flats of the octagon in meters.
- Approximate Weight (kg): The estimated weight of the pole in kilograms, assuming a wood density of 600 kg/m³.
These are approximate weights; the actual weight can vary based on the exact wood species, moisture content, and other factors.
