A pylon is a tall structure used to support overhead power lines or other cables. Typically made of metal or concrete, pylons are designed to hold the wires high above the ground, ensuring safety and preventing interference with vehicles and buildings. They come in various shapes and sizes, depending on their specific function and the terrain they are placed in.
In addition to power lines, pylons can also refer to structures used in sports, such as the goalposts in American football or the markers in auto racing. These pylons help define boundaries and guide participants during competitions.
