Our 50 foot Class 3 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 50 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.

50 Foot Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine Wood Utility Pole

Built for environments where reliable overhead support is essential, this 50-foot Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine utility pole delivers the structural integrity needed for demanding outdoor applications. Engineered to handle substantial loads while maintaining long-term durability, this CCA-treated pole offers facilities a dependable foundation for lighting systems, sports field illumination, and utility installations that must perform consistently across varying weather conditions.

Why Facilities Choose This Product

  • Designed to deliver exceptional load capacity with support for 2-4 cross arms handling up to 240 pounds each
  • Built with premium Southern Yellow Pine grown and processed in the United States to ANSI O5.1 specifications
  • Offers reliable rot and decay resistance through professional CCA treatment meeting American Wood Preservers Association standards
  • Provides consistent structural performance with 43 feet above-grade height and engineered 7-foot burial depth
  • Ensures dependable operation in outdoor environments with natural wood flexibility and strength characteristics

Suitable Environments

  • Sports facilities requiring overhead lighting for baseball fields and athletic complexes
  • Commercial parking areas needing elevated illumination systems
  • Industrial sites where utility infrastructure must support multiple fixture configurations
  • Municipal installations demanding long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements
  • Educational campuses seeking durable lighting solutions for outdoor spaces

Metal Halide Replacement Benefits

  • Supports modern LED fixture installations while eliminating the structural limitations of older pole systems
  • Accommodates higher fixture counts per cross arm compared to aging utility infrastructure
  • Reduces long-term replacement costs through superior wood treatment and structural engineering
  • Improves installation flexibility with standardized cross arm mounting options
  • Maximizes lighting coverage potential with optimized height and load distribution capabilities

Performance & Safety

From a structural standpoint, this Class 3 pole maximizes load distribution across its engineered taper design, transitioning from 12.414 inches diameter at the base measurement point to 7.321 inches at the top. The substantial buried depth of 7 feet ensures stable foundation performance even under significant wind loads and fixture weight combinations.

For most installations, the CCA treatment process strengthens safety through comprehensive protection against environmental degradation that could compromise structural integrity. In practice, this preservative treatment penetrates the wood fibers to create long-lasting resistance to insects, moisture, and decay organisms that typically threaten untreated utility poles.

Additionally, the direct burial installation method reduces downtime thanks to simplified foundation requirements compared to concrete-base alternatives. Operators who need dependable lighting will appreciate the pole's ability to support up to 6 fixtures per cross arm while maintaining structural specifications throughout its service life.

Setup & Mounting

This model is designed for direct burial installation, requiring a 7-foot excavation depth to achieve the specified 43-foot above-grade height. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available as separate components, allowing facilities to customize their lighting configuration based on specific coverage requirements. In real-world use, the standardized mounting points accommodate 1-2 cross arms per side without compromising the pole's structural integrity, while the 240-pound weight limit per arm provides substantial capacity for modern LED fixture installations.
