Spiles Spiles Examples of three types of spiles were given at Conner Prarie. One spile is a wooden spile probably used by early settlers. Another spile is the type of metal spile on which buckets are hung. The white spile is a plastic spile. Plastic spiles are used in Canada.
Tubing is attached to plastic spiles.
The rubber tubing carries the sap into a large processing plant where maple syrup is produced for selling commercially.
