A range pole, also called a range rod or ranging rod, is a round red-white stick with a steel tip used in surveying.
A range pole serves to make spots on the ground clearly visible and to ensure that they lie, as it were, in one plane, the field of view of the surveyor. With these points one should think of the beginning and end of a measuring line and the intersection of lines, for example the extension of walls and the measuring line. A jalon must therefore be place perpendicular to the earth. This can be done with the help of a 2-dimension level, also called a jalon adjuster.
Range poles are (effectively) 2 meters long and are painted with alternating red and white stripes. These sections have a length of 50 cm. Range poles have either a red or a white head. There is a metal tip at the bottom.
