Our 70 foot Class 1 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 70 ft wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields or used as utility poles. You can add 1-3 light arms per side, 2-6 in total, but no more than 3 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 (2-6 per pole, 1-3 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 70-Foot Wood Utility Pole

For facilities that require substantial height and proven durability, this Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine pole delivers 61 feet of above-grade height with engineered specifications that meet ANSI O5.1 standards. Built with CCA treatment and grown domestically, this pole offers reliable performance for demanding outdoor lighting applications where long-term structural integrity cannot be compromised.

Suitable Environments

  • Sports field lighting installations requiring maximum height coverage
  • Baseball and softball field perimeter lighting systems
  • Large area commercial lighting where wide beam distribution is essential
  • Industrial facility outdoor lighting with heavy fixture loads
  • Municipal utility applications demanding ANSI compliance
  • High-mast lighting replacements in areas with direct burial requirements

Metal Halide Replacement Benefits

  • Supports modern LED fixture conversions while maintaining existing pole infrastructure
  • Accommodates up to 240 pounds per cross arm, handling heavier LED arrays efficiently
  • Eliminates frequent lamp replacements associated with metal halide systems
  • CCA treatment provides decades of service life compared to metal fixture degradation
  • Direct burial installation reduces foundation costs versus concrete pole alternatives
  • Natural wood construction offers superior wind load distribution in severe weather

Performance & Safety

Engineered to handle demanding conditions with its substantial 16.234-inch minimum diameter at the base tapering to 8.594 inches at the top, this pole provides the structural foundation necessary for multi-fixture installations. The Class 1 rating ensures maximum load capacity while the 9-foot burial depth creates exceptional stability in diverse soil conditions.

From a safety perspective, the CCA treatment process penetrates deep into the Southern Yellow Pine fibers, creating long-term protection against rot, decay, and insect damage that could compromise structural integrity over time. This treatment meets the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards, ensuring dependable operation in outdoor environments where safety cannot be compromised.

In terms of longevity, operators who need dependable lighting infrastructure will appreciate the natural durability characteristics of Southern Yellow Pine combined with professional-grade preservative treatment. Unlike synthetic alternatives, wood poles offer natural flexibility that helps absorb wind loads and thermal expansion cycles without developing stress fractures.

Setup & Mounting

Direct burial installation simplifies the setup process while providing exceptional stability through the 9-foot below-grade depth requirement. Cross arms mount directly to the pole structure and can accommodate 2 to 6 total arms with a maximum of 3 per side, allowing flexible lighting configurations based on coverage requirements. Each cross arm supports up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware, providing substantial capacity for LED arrays or traditional lighting systems. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available as separate components and require field installation after pole delivery.
