Professional-Grade Fiberglass Pole Solution
For facilities that require reliable overhead lighting support at substantial heights, this 40-foot above-grade fiberglass pole delivers the structural integrity and weather resistance needed for demanding outdoor applications. Built for environments where traditional materials face challenges from corrosion, weight constraints, or electrical conductivity concerns, this direct burial pole offers a modern alternative that addresses common installation and maintenance issues.
Engineered to handle demanding conditions with its specialized fiberglass construction and fluoropolymer coating, this pole provides decades of dependable service while offering significant advantages over conventional steel alternatives. With its 9-inch diameter and carefully calculated wind load ratings, operators who need dependable lighting infrastructure will appreciate the combination of strength, flexibility, and low-maintenance operation this fixture provides.
Comparison to Legacy Lighting
Unlike traditional steel poles that require ongoing maintenance to prevent rust and corrosion, this fiberglass construction eliminates these costly concerns entirely. What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is its non-conductive properties and superior resistance to environmental factors that typically compromise metal pole installations over time.
- Weighs significantly less than equivalent steel poles at 438 lbs, reducing transportation and installation costs
- Eliminates corrosion maintenance that steel poles require in harsh weather conditions
- Provides non-conductive operation, improving safety compared to metal alternatives
- Offers flexible response to wind loads rather than rigid resistance that can lead to failure

Benefits of This Fixture
Energy Savings & ROI
By comparison to steel alternatives, the reduced installation costs from lightweight construction and elimination of ongoing corrosion maintenance creates immediate and long-term cost advantages. The direct burial installation method reduces foundation expenses while the 7-year warranty provides additional financial protection.
Light Quality
The substantial 40-foot above-grade height provides excellent light distribution coverage for large areas while the stable fiberglass construction maintains consistent fixture positioning. Additionally, the non-conductive properties eliminate any electrical interference that could affect lighting performance.
Maintenance Reduction
Designed to deliver decades of service without the rust, rot, or corrosion issues that plague traditional materials. The fluoropolymer coating provides 25-year UV protection while the fiberglass construction naturally resists environmental degradation, significantly reducing lifecycle maintenance requirements.
Safety
From a safety perspective, the non-conductive fiberglass construction eliminates electrical hazards while the fire-resistant properties provide additional protection. The flexible design allows the pole to bend under extreme weather conditions and return to its original position rather than breaking catastrophically like rigid materials.
