Our 20-foot round wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields, and utility pole projects. You can add 1 light arms per side, 2 in total. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs of lights per arm. 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 (2 per pole, 1 per side) and Mounting Brackets. The customer is responsible for mounting the 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 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. 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.

Product Overview

This is a 20-foot Class 1 wood pole made from Southern Yellow Pine, treated with CCA for in-ground durability. The pole is designed for direct burial installation with 4 feet below grade and 16 feet of usable height above ground.

The pole weighs between 600 and 800 pounds and meets ANSI Class 1 specifications. Minimum circumference at the top is 27 inches (8.6-inch diameter), and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 31 inches (9.8-inch diameter).

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is sized for sports field lighting, baseball field installations, and utility pole applications where a 16-foot above-grade mounting height is appropriate. The Class 1 rating and treated Southern Yellow Pine construction are suited for outdoor installations exposed to weather and ground contact.

The direct burial design eliminates the need for a separate foundation or anchor base. Sites with accessible equipment for handling 600 to 800 pounds and digging a 4-foot hole are appropriate for this pole.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The pole accepts up to 2 cross arms total, with 1 arm per side. Each cross arm supports up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware. This capacity allows up to 6 light fixtures per arm, depending on individual fixture weight.

CCA treatment protects the Southern Yellow Pine from decay and insect damage in direct burial conditions. The Class 1 ANSI rating establishes the load-bearing capacity and dimensional tolerances for this pole height and application class.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole ships without cross arms attached. Cross arm mounting is performed after delivery and is the responsibility of the installer. Poles require equipment capable of handling and setting 600 to 800 pounds.

The 4-foot burial depth provides the structural base for the 16-foot above-grade height. Mounting brackets and cross arms are available separately. Lead times may vary based on quantity and length requirements.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Installers typically set the pole with an auger or excavator, position it plumb, and backfill around the buried section. Once the pole is set and stable, cross arms are attached at the desired height on the above-grade portion.

Fixtures are then mounted to the cross arms. With each arm rated for 240 pounds and up to 6 fixtures, installers can configure lighting layouts for field coverage based on fixture selection and aiming requirements. The 16-foot above-grade height places fixtures at a usable elevation for recreational sports lighting.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole meets ANSI Class 1 specifications for dimensional and load requirements. The Southern Yellow Pine is CCA treated for ground contact and outdoor exposure.

LED Lighting Supply provides a 1-year warranty on this pole.
