Our CCA Treated 20 Foot Wood Pole Class 5 Treated Ponderosa Pine Poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. They are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Poles are pressure treated and preservative treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards to prevent damage from termites, decay and rot regardless of the species used.
Our 20 ft round wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields, and a utility pole project. You can add up to 2 light arms per pole. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs per arm. Number of arms and lights depends on the class of pole you select. The class will determine the diameter at the base. Availability can change based on the quantity and length required as different sizes can have different lead times. Our poles are built with durability in mind to ensure long-lasting performance.
Options Available:
Cross Arms (2 per pole, 1 per side) and Mounting Brackets. Customer is responsible for mounting Cross Arm after poles are delivered. Poles do not ship with cross arms attached.
These are the lights we typically mount on the cross arms. Up to 6 lights per arm, not to exceed 240 total pounds of fixtures and hardware.
Delivery is made with a flatbed truck and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a fork lift or appropriate similar vehicle to offload – customer supplied. Customers are responsible for any costs associated with delivery rescheduling because of improper scheduling or not having the proper offloading equipment or area to store poles available at the time of delivery. Please contact a sales representative prior to purchasing to ensure all the project details are clear.
Pricing: Does not include cost of shipping. Shipping is available to the lower 48 USA states. We can supply a budgetary shipping quote or a firm shipping quote that is good for 14 days.
Disclaimer: LED Lighting Supply is not responsible for improper loading (ie what is mounted to the pole), installation costs, or foundation design of light poles. Dimensions and specifications of poles are subject to change without notice but the pole top and butt dimensions will always be within ANSI specifications. Wood poles are the ideal option for most field projects as concrete poles require more frequent maintenance and replacement.
Please be advised that our wood poles are covered solely by a 1 year-year workmanship warranty, which ensures that the poles are free from defects from the manufacturing process, and structural integrity, for one year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from external factors, misuse, or normal wear and tear.

Professional-Grade Wood Utility Pole for Outdoor Lighting Applications
This Class 5 Ponderosa Pine utility pole delivers the structural integrity and longevity that demanding outdoor lighting projects require. Engineered to handle substantial fixture loads while maintaining stability in direct burial installations, this 20-foot pole provides 16 feet of above-grade height for optimal light distribution. Built with CCA pressure treatment and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications, it offers reliable performance for sports lighting, area illumination, and utility applications where wood poles are the preferred choice.
Key Advantages
- Class 5 structural rating supports up to 480 pounds total fixture load across dual cross arms
- CCA pressure treatment provides protection against termites, decay, and rot per American Wood Preservers Association standards
- Direct burial installation eliminates the need for concrete foundations in most soil conditions
- Ponderosa Pine construction offers natural weather resistance and proven outdoor durability
- ANSI O5.1 compliance ensures consistent dimensional tolerances and structural performance
- Domestic manufacturing provides reliable supply chain and quality control
Who This Fixture Is For
- Athletic facility managers installing sports field lighting systems
- Municipal utilities requiring cost-effective poles for area lighting projects
- Contractors working on baseball field or recreational facility illumination
- Property developers seeking reliable utility poles for outdoor lighting infrastructure
- Maintenance teams replacing aging wood poles in existing installations
- Organizations preferring environmentally sustainable wood construction over metal alternatives
How It Compares to Metal Halide
Unlike metal utility poles that require specialized equipment for installation and welding for cross arm attachment, this wood pole offers straightforward direct burial installation and simple bolt-on cross arm mounting. From a cost standpoint, wood poles typically provide lower initial investment compared to galvanized steel alternatives while offering comparable structural performance for lighting applications. The natural properties of treated Ponderosa Pine also provide better electrical isolation characteristics, making it a preferred choice for utility applications where electrical safety is paramount.
Installation Considerations
For facilities that require stable lighting infrastructure, proper installation involves burying four feet of the pole length below grade, leaving sixteen feet exposed for fixture mounting. In real-world use, the pole's weight range of 200-300 pounds requires appropriate lifting equipment during installation, though it remains more manageable than comparable metal alternatives. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available as separate components and must be field-installed after pole placement, allowing for customized fixture positioning based on specific lighting requirements.
