Our 40 foot Class 2 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.

Comparison to Legacy Lighting
When upgrading from metal halide systems or replacing aging infrastructure, this treated wood pole solution offers advantages that synthetic alternatives often cannot match. Unlike traditional steel or concrete options, Southern Yellow Pine provides natural flexibility that helps withstand wind loads while maintaining structural integrity over decades of service.
- Natural material flexibility reduces stress fractures compared to rigid alternatives
- CCA treatment provides superior rot and decay prevention versus untreated options
- Direct burial installation eliminates need for concrete foundations required by some pole types
- Class 2 rating ensures adequate strength for multi-arm lighting configurations
- American-grown and manufactured materials support domestic supply chains
Installation & Mounting
In many commercial settings, the direct burial design simplifies installation by eliminating complex foundation requirements. The 6-foot burial depth provides stable anchoring while the tapered design from 12.255-inch diameter at the butt to 7.957-inch diameter at the top ensures proper weight distribution and wind resistance.
- Direct burial installation requires 6-foot excavation depth
- Pole weight ranges from 1,430 to 1,690 pounds depending on moisture content
- Cross arms and mounting brackets available separately for custom configurations
- Maximum 2 cross arms per side, 4 total per pole
- Each cross arm supports up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware
- Customer responsible for cross arm mounting after delivery

Benefits of This Fixture
Energy Savings & ROI
From a cost standpoint, wood poles offer significant value through reduced installation complexity and long service life. The direct burial method eliminates concrete foundation costs, while the natural material's proven decades-long durability minimizes replacement frequency compared to alternatives requiring more frequent maintenance or replacement.
Light Quality
What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is the stable platform it provides for consistent light positioning. The Class 2 structural rating ensures minimal deflection under wind loads, maintaining precise fixture alignment for optimal light distribution patterns across sports fields, parking areas, or utility applications.
Maintenance Reduction
One of the reasons this fixture stands out is the inherent low-maintenance nature of properly treated Southern Yellow Pine. The CCA preservative treatment provides long-term protection against rot, decay, and insect damage, reducing the ongoing maintenance requirements that plague untreated or improperly specified poles.
Safety
From a safety perspective, the natural flexibility of wood construction helps absorb wind loads and impact forces that might damage more brittle materials. Additionally, the ANSI Class 2 rating ensures the pole maintains structural integrity even when supporting maximum cross arm loads in challenging weather conditions.
