Dave, I retired from SBC and was a lineman. We made our contacts on the pole at 20 feet in most cases. We were required to be 18' over most streets and roads. 20' would get that on spans of 150'. A private drive only REQUIRED 12' clearence but we put everything 18' if we could. We would raise them if requested. What is it that you think is going to be to low? Is it something you want to put up, or something that is there now that is to low? Safety required telephone to be 40" below power and 12" below TV for a total of 60". It is hard to say how high something needs to be without knowing how big or heavy or tight it is.

I usually see poles spaced 150-200" apart. The lowest your lowest wire (telephone) can be is 15" off the ground. Nothing can travel legally down the road above that height without a special permit. Like previously mentioned, if its for an electrical service to a barn or an house/cabin, I would say 100"+ - is good. use 25-35"ers and get it up there 20-25" or high enough that your biggest machine can easilly clear it with a load. Hope it helps.

I have been told that sag for primary electric lines ( before the transformer ) is 2% of the distance betweeen poles. Drop from an absolute horizontal line. Telephone, cable TV, telegraph, and secondry electric lines ( from transformer to meter ) is 5% sag. I hope this helps you.

Hey Dave, I work for an electric company,I know there is a standard for poles and wires. You may need to call your local company and ask them. I'm not sure if you own the poles but if so there may not be a requirment.If the Utility owns them they probably lease space on them for the Telephone company and they could tell you.

hope it helps,,,,, ,

Depends on how tight the wire is.
