Our CCA Treated 40 Foot Wood Pole Class 5 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 reliable structural support is essential, this 40-foot Class 5 Ponderosa Pine utility pole delivers the strength and durability needed for demanding outdoor lighting installations. Engineered to handle significant load requirements while maintaining structural integrity, this CCA-treated pole provides a cost-effective solution for sports facilities, utility projects, and commercial lighting applications.
What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is its ANSI O5.1 specification compliance and comprehensive preservative treatment that protects against termites, decay, and rot. With its 34-foot above-grade height and robust 6-foot burial depth, operators who need dependable lighting support will appreciate the pole's ability to accommodate up to four cross arms while supporting 240 pounds per arm.
Comparing to Traditional Lighting
Unlike traditional metal utility poles that can suffer from corrosion and require ongoing maintenance, this pressure-treated Ponderosa Pine pole offers natural weather resistance with proper chemical treatment. Compared to legacy fixtures, the wood construction provides better vibration dampening and thermal stability while maintaining the structural strength needed for multi-fixture installations at a more economical price point.
Operational Advantages
Energy Usage
For facilities that require multiple lighting fixtures, this pole's capacity to support up to four cross arms maximizes lighting efficiency by concentrating multiple light sources on a single support structure. This approach reduces the number of poles needed for comprehensive area coverage, optimizing both installation costs and long-term energy distribution.
Visibility
With its 34-foot above-grade height, this pole positions lighting fixtures at the optimal elevation for wide-area illumination. The substantial 19-inch minimum circumference at the top provides stable mounting for cross arms, ensuring consistent fixture positioning that improves visibility by maintaining proper light distribution angles across the coverage area.
Durability
Designed to deliver long-term performance in outdoor environments, the CCA treatment process penetrates deep into the wood fibers to prevent insect damage and moisture-related deterioration. In real-world use, the pole's Class 5 rating and robust diameter specifications ensure structural integrity even under wind loading and the dynamic stresses created by multiple lighting fixtures.
