The life expectancy of fiberglass vaulting poles can vary significantly based on usage, maintenance, and storage conditions, but they typically last anywhere from 3 to 10 years. Regular inspection for cracks, bends, or other signs of wear is essential, as these factors can drastically influence durability. Athletes should also consider environmental exposure, as UV light and temperature fluctuations can degrade the material over time. Ultimately, poles should be replaced if they show any signs of damage or reduced performance.
