The present invention may include diametrically opposed support stringers to increase support and rigidity. An embodiment may include pole access apertures, insulator cutouts, and bolt receiving channels. The present invention provides a simplistic and inexpensive fix to preexisting rotting utility poles while also enabling a safe and efficient installation.
