Claim 5:
6. An arrangement for reinforcing a pole wall having a circumference, comprising:
a plurality of first brackets, each of said first brackets being elongated in a vertical direction, having a first elongated rear wrapping wall with a concave-profiled rear face for abutting and wrapping around a portion of the circumference;
first left and right side walls extending outwardly from said first wrapping wall; and
a plurality of blind fasteners for securing said plurality of first wrapping walls to the pole wall, wherein said plurality of first wrapping walls defines a plurality of through openings configured to align with complementary pole through openings defined in the pole wall circumference, the plurality of blind fasteners configured to secure said plurality of first wrapping walls to the pole wall through said through openings in said plurality of first wrapping walls and through said complementary pole through openings defined in the pole wall circumference;
wherein, when said plurality of first brackets is arranged side by side, with slight gaps between the first left side wall of each first bracket and the first right side wall of an adjacent first bracket, said plurality of first wrapping walls forms a first tubular shape with a diameter, for wrapping around the circumference;
wherein said first left and right side walls define a plurality of aligned openings; and further comprising a plurality of bolts and nuts, wherein said bolts extend through said aligned openings to secure the adjacent first side walls of adjacent first brackets together, such that tightening said nuts on said bolts reduces the diameter of said tubular shape in order to press said first concave-profiled rear faces of said first wrapping walls against and securely in direct contact with said circumference.
