Our CCA Treated 40 Foot Wood Pole Class 4 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 40 ft round wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields, and a utility pole project. You can add up to 4 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 (4 per pole, 2 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
Built for environments where traditional utility infrastructure demands reliable support, this 40-foot Class 4 Ponderosa Pine pole delivers engineered strength for demanding outdoor installations. Manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications and pressure treated with CCA preservatives, this pole provides the structural foundation needed for sports field lighting, utility applications, and commercial outdoor lighting projects.
What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is its capacity to handle substantial lighting loads while maintaining structural integrity in various weather conditions. With its specialized construction supporting up to 4 cross arms and 240 pounds per arm, operators who need dependable lighting infrastructure will appreciate the engineered balance of load capacity and durability that comes from premium Ponderosa Pine construction.
Comparing to Traditional Lighting
Unlike traditional metal poles that require complex foundations and specialized installation equipment, this direct burial wood pole system simplifies the installation process while providing comparable load-bearing capacity. By comparison, the natural properties of treated Ponderosa Pine offer excellent resistance to environmental stresses without the corrosion concerns associated with steel alternatives, making it particularly suitable for long-term outdoor installations where maintenance access may be limited.
Operational Advantages
Energy Usage
For facilities that require multiple lighting fixtures, this pole's ability to support up to 4 cross arms maximizes the lighting coverage achievable from a single support structure. In practice, this reduces the number of poles needed per project, optimizing both installation costs and ongoing maintenance requirements while supporting modern LED lighting systems that deliver superior illumination per watt.
Visibility
Engineered to handle demanding conditions, the pole's substantial height above grade of 34 feet positions lighting fixtures at optimal heights for wide-area coverage. This elevation ensures consistent light distribution across large areas like sports fields and utility applications, improving visibility by eliminating shadows and dark spots that can compromise safety and operational effectiveness.
Durability
Built with CCA pressure treatment to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards, this pole resists termite damage, decay, and rot regardless of installation environment. Additionally, the natural flexibility of Ponderosa Pine provides superior wind load resistance compared to rigid alternatives, while the substantial circumference measurements ensure structural integrity under maximum loading conditions.
