Our 40 foot Class 1 CCA Treated Southern Yellow Pine Poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. They are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Poles are treated with preservatives to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards to ensure rot and decay prevention. The long term durability of a wood utility pole is one of its main benefits

These 40 ft wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields or used as utility poles. You can add 1-2 light arms per side, 2-4 in total, but no more than 2 per side. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs per arm. The number of arms and lights depends on the class of the utility pole you select. The pole length will determine how significant the taper is as with all timber utility poles.

Options Available:

Cross Arms (2-4 per pole, 1-2 per side) and Mounting Brackets. The customer is responsible for mounting Cross Arm after the 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 standard flatbed truck depending on pole lengths and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a fork lift or appropriate similar vehicle to offload ? customer supplied. Customer is responsible for any costs associated with delivery rescheduling because of improper scheduling or not having the proper offloading equipment available at time of delivery. Installation should be done by a trained professional.

Pricing: Does not include price 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. While our main product line is southern yellow pine, we at times are able to offer other species including douglas fir and red pine. CCA treatment generally will result in the poles being free of insects for decades to come.

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 a period of 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 Pole Construction

Built for environments where reliable overhead support is essential, this 40-foot Class 1 treated Southern Yellow Pine pole delivers the structural integrity needed for demanding utility and lighting applications. Engineered to handle substantial loads while maintaining long-term stability, this direct burial pole provides 34 feet of above-grade height with a secure 6-foot buried foundation depth.

For facilities that require proven performance in outdoor installations, this CCA-treated utility pole offers the natural strength characteristics that make Southern Yellow Pine the preferred choice for utility applications. What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is its compliance with ANSI O5.1 specifications and treatment to American Wood Preservers Association standards, ensuring consistent protection against rot and decay in challenging environmental conditions.

Comparing to Traditional Lighting

Unlike traditional concrete or steel support structures, this Southern Yellow Pine pole combines natural resilience with proven load-bearing capabilities. By comparison, wood poles offer superior flexibility in harsh weather conditions while maintaining the structural strength needed to support multiple cross arms and lighting fixtures. The tapered design distributes weight efficiently from the 13.051-inch minimum diameter at the base to the 8.594-inch diameter at the top, providing optimal balance between material efficiency and structural performance.

Operational Advantages

Energy Usage

From a cost standpoint, this wood pole construction supports energy-efficient lighting configurations by accommodating up to 4 cross arms total, allowing for strategic light placement that maximizes coverage while minimizing the number of poles required. Designed to deliver flexible mounting options, each cross arm can handle up to 240 pounds of lighting equipment, enabling operators to optimize their lighting layouts for maximum efficiency.

Visibility

With its specialized construction allowing 1-2 cross arms per side, this pole provides excellent positioning flexibility for achieving optimal light distribution patterns. In practice, the 34-foot above-grade height ensures proper mounting elevation for wide-area illumination while the substantial circumference measurements provide stable support for precision lighting placement.

Durability

Engineered for high performance in outdoor environments, the CCA treatment process penetrates deep into the wood fibers to prevent deterioration from moisture, insects, and fungal decay. Performance-wise, Southern Yellow Pine's natural density and strength characteristics, combined with professional preservative treatment, deliver decades of reliable service. The 1640-1940 pound weight range reflects the solid construction that ensures dependable operation even under significant wind loads and fixture weights.
