Our 40 foot Class 4 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 Utility Pole
For facilities that require reliable overhead lighting infrastructure, this 40-foot Class 4 Southern Yellow Pine utility pole delivers the structural integrity needed for demanding commercial and recreational applications. Built with CCA treatment and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications, this pole provides a solid foundation for multi-fixture lighting systems across sports complexes, parking areas, and industrial sites.
Engineered to handle demanding conditions with its substantial 1080-1270 pound construction, this direct burial pole offers 34 feet of above-grade height while maintaining optimal taper specifications. What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is its ability to support 2-4 cross arms with up to 240 pounds of lighting equipment per arm, providing flexible configuration options for various lighting layouts.
Comparing to Traditional Lighting
Unlike traditional lighting support structures, this Southern Yellow Pine pole combines natural durability with engineered treatment processes that extend service life significantly beyond untreated alternatives. The CCA preservation treatment penetrates deep into the wood fiber structure, creating resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage that metal poles cannot match in terms of long-term reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Operational Advantages
Energy Usage
By comparison, the substantial cross arm capacity allows for strategic light positioning that maximizes coverage while minimizing the total number of poles required for large area illumination. This configuration flexibility helps reduce overall project costs while supporting energy-efficient LED fixture arrangements that can be optimized for specific coverage patterns.
Visibility
With its 34-foot above-grade height and robust cross arm support capabilities, this pole enables optimal fixture positioning for wide-area coverage. The substantial circumference measurements ensure minimal pole deflection under wind loads, maintaining consistent light positioning and beam angles throughout varying weather conditions.
Durability
Built with American Wood Preservers Association standard treatments, this pole provides exceptional resistance to environmental degradation. The CCA treatment process ensures dependable operation in challenging outdoor conditions, while the Class 4 rating delivers the structural performance needed for multi-fixture installations over extended service periods.
