Our 70 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 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 Southern Yellow Pine Utility Pole
For facilities that require substantial lighting coverage at significant heights, this Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine utility pole delivers the structural integrity and longevity needed for demanding outdoor applications. Engineered to handle demanding conditions with its 70-foot total height and direct burial installation, this CCA-treated pole provides reliable support for sports lighting, area illumination, and utility infrastructure. Built with premium Southern Yellow Pine that's grown, debarked, and treated domestically, this pole meets ANSI O5.1 specifications while offering the natural durability that makes wood utility poles a preferred choice for long-term installations.

- Designed to deliver Class 3 load capacity supporting up to 6 cross arms with 240 lbs per arm
- Provides consistent structural performance with minimum 7.321-inch top diameter and 14.324-inch diameter at 6 feet from butt
- Ensures dependable operation with direct burial installation requiring 9-foot burial depth

Who This Fixture Is For
- Sports facility managers needing comprehensive field lighting for baseball diamonds and athletic complexes

How It Compares to Metal Halide
Unlike traditional metal utility poles that require specialized equipment and welding for modifications, this Southern Yellow Pine pole allows for straightforward cross arm installation and customization on-site. What makes this fixture valuable for buyers is its natural ability to handle thermal expansion and contraction without the stress fractures common in metal alternatives. Additionally, the wood construction provides superior electrical insulation properties while maintaining structural integrity across temperature variations that can compromise metal pole connections over time.
Installation Considerations
This pole requires direct burial installation with a minimum 9-foot depth below grade, leaving 61 feet of working height above ground level. From a safety perspective, the substantial weight of 3000-3600 lbs necessitates proper excavation equipment and careful positioning during installation. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available as separate options and must be installed after pole delivery, allowing contractors flexibility in configuring the lighting layout based on specific coverage requirements.
