25 Foot Wood Pole | Class 5 | Treated | Ponderosa Pine

Professional Grade Wood Utility Pole for Demanding Applications

Built for environments where reliable overhead lighting infrastructure is essential, this 25-foot Class 5 Ponderosa Pine utility pole delivers the structural integrity needed for commercial and recreational lighting installations. Engineered to handle demanding conditions with CCA pressure treatment and ANSI O5.1 specification compliance, this pole provides a solid foundation for lighting systems in sports facilities, parking areas, and utility applications. With its 20.5-foot above-grade height and robust 280-330 pound construction, operators who need dependable lighting support will appreciate the engineered balance of strength and practical installation requirements.

Replacing Older Lighting Systems

When upgrading from deteriorated wood poles or inadequate lighting infrastructure, this Class 5 pole offers significant structural and performance advantages. Unlike traditional lighting options that may lack proper treatment or fail to meet current ANSI standards, this pole is manufactured with modern preservation techniques and engineered load capacities that support today's LED lighting requirements.

• Direct burial installation eliminates the need for concrete foundations required by some metal pole systems
• CCA treatment provides superior resistance to rot, decay, and termite damage compared to untreated wood poles
• Class 5 rating ensures adequate structural capacity for multiple lighting fixtures where older poles may be undersized
• Standardized cross arm compatibility simplifies fixture mounting compared to custom fabrication often required with aging infrastructure

Mounting, Setup & Controls

Installation involves direct burial with the pole extending 20.5 feet above grade and 4.5 feet below ground level. The pole accommodates up to two cross arms total, with a maximum of one cross arm per side, each rated for 240 pounds of attached lighting equipment. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available as separate options and require field installation after pole delivery, allowing for customized lighting configurations based on specific site requirements.

Certifications

• Manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification standards

• Class 5 structural rating for defined load capacity

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum lighting load this pole can support?
Each cross arm can accommodate up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware, with a maximum of two cross arms per pole, providing substantial capacity for multiple LED fixtures.

How deep should this pole be buried?
The pole requires 4.5 feet of burial depth, leaving 20.5 feet above grade for lighting coverage.

What treatment protects the wood from deterioration?
CCA pressure treatment provides comprehensive protection against termites, decay, and rot according to American Wood Preservers Association standards.

Operational Benefits

Energy Efficiency

The pole's structural design supports modern LED lighting systems that significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional high-intensity discharge fixtures. By comparison, the robust load capacity allows for optimal fixture placement and spacing, maximizing illumination coverage while minimizing the number of poles required for area lighting projects.

Reliability & Durability

Ponderosa Pine construction combined with professional CCA treatment ensures dependable operation across varying weather conditions and environmental challenges. From a longevity standpoint, the pressure treatment process penetrates deep into the wood fiber, providing long-term protection against biological deterioration that commonly affects untreated utility poles.

Maintenance Reduction

Designed to deliver years of service with minimal intervention, the treated wood construction resists the corrosion issues that affect metal poles in certain environments. Additionally, the direct burial installation method eliminates concrete foundation maintenance while the standardized cross arm system simplifies fixture replacement and lighting upgrades over the pole's service life.
