Our 40 foot Class 5 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.

40 Foot Wood Pole | Class 5 | Treated | Southern Yellow Pine

Built for environments where long-term durability and structural integrity are essential, this Class 5 Southern Yellow Pine utility pole delivers reliable performance for sports field lighting, baseball field illumination, and general utility applications. Engineered to handle demanding conditions with its robust 40-foot construction and CCA treatment, this pole provides the foundation needed for professional-grade lighting installations that must perform season after season.

Why Facilities Choose This Product

  • Designed to deliver substantial height coverage with 34 feet above grade and optimal 6-foot burial depth
  • Built with genuine Southern Yellow Pine grown and treated in the United States to ANSI O5.1 specifications
  • Offers reliable structural capacity supporting 2-4 cross arms with maximum 240 lbs per arm attachment weight
  • Provides consistent pole dimensions with 6-inch minimum top diameter and 9.8-inch diameter at butt measurement
  • Ensures dependable operation with CCA preservative treatment meeting American Wood Preservers Association standards

Suitable Environments

  • Sports field lighting installations requiring professional-grade illumination coverage
  • Baseball field applications where substantial height and multi-fixture capacity are needed
  • Utility pole installations demanding Class 5 structural performance and load capacity
  • Direct burial applications in various soil conditions with 6-foot embedding depth
  • Outdoor lighting projects requiring rot and decay resistance in challenging weather conditions

Metal Halide Replacement Benefits

  • Supports modern LED fixture installations with cross arm capacity for up to 6 lights per arm
  • Accommodates contemporary lighting systems while maintaining traditional wood pole aesthetics
  • Provides structural foundation for energy-efficient lighting upgrades without pole replacement
  • Enables flexible fixture positioning with 1-2 cross arms per side configuration options

Performance & Safety

From a structural standpoint, this Class 5 pole delivers the load-bearing capacity needed for multi-fixture installations while maintaining safety margins. The substantial circumference measurements of 19 inches minimum at the top and 31 inches at 6 feet from butt ensure adequate strength distribution across the pole's height.

Additionally, the CCA treatment process penetrates deep into the Southern Yellow Pine fibers, creating a barrier against rot, decay, and insect damage that could compromise structural integrity over time. This preservative treatment extends operational life significantly compared to untreated wood poles.

In real-world use, the direct burial installation method provides stable anchoring while the pole's natural taper distributes wind loads effectively. The 935-1100 lb weight range indicates solid construction density that resists movement and maintains fixture alignment even in challenging weather conditions.

Setup & Mounting

For most installations, this pole requires a 6-foot burial depth with proper backfill and tamping procedures to ensure stability. The direct burial method eliminates the need for concrete foundations in many soil types, though local conditions should be evaluated. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available as separate components and require field assembly after pole installation, allowing for customized fixture positioning based on specific lighting requirements and spacing needs.
