Product Overview
This is a 30-foot above-grade round tapered fiberglass pole designed for direct burial installation. The total pole length is 35 feet, with 5 feet buried below grade for structural support. The pole tapers from an 8.5-inch base diameter to a 5.3-inch tip diameter.
The fiberglass construction results in a pole weight of 112 pounds. The standard finish is acrylic enamel in bronze, with custom color options available. This pole is rated at 3 EPA at 100 mph wind speed.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole supports area lighting applications using post top fixtures or shoebox-style fixtures. The 30-foot above-grade height positions luminaires for parking lot, pathway, and general site lighting where moderate mounting heights are required.
The direct burial installation method eliminates the need for a separate anchor base or foundation bolts. Sites with soil conditions suitable for direct burial can use this pole without concrete anchor bolt foundations.
Performance and Functional Considerations
Wind loading capacity is defined by EPA ratings across multiple wind speeds. This pole supports 12 EPA at 70 mph, 10 EPA at 80 mph, 6 EPA at 90 mph, and 3 EPA at 100 mph. Fixture selection must account for the cumulative EPA of all mounted equipment at the applicable wind speed for the installation location.
The fiberglass material provides corrosion resistance that steel and aluminum poles do not offer. At 112 pounds, the pole is lighter than equivalent steel poles, which can affect handling and installation logistics.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires excavation to accommodate the 5-foot burial depth. Final pole assembly and fixture mounting are the responsibility of the installer. Foundation design and soil suitability must be evaluated for each site.
LED Lighting Supply is not responsible for improper loading of fixtures or attachments, foundation design, or pole use. Dimensions and specifications are subject to change; refer to the current data sheet for pole data charts. Pole caps are used when other mounting options are not required.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Facilities use this pole to support parking lot luminaires, pathway lighting, and general area lighting where a 30-foot mounting height is appropriate. The round tapered profile provides a finished appearance for commercial sites, educational campuses, and retail locations.
The fiberglass construction is selected for sites where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as coastal locations or environments with chemical exposure. The lighter weight compared to steel poles can simplify handling during installation.

This pole carries a 15-year workmanship warranty. The warranty covers defects from the manufacturing process, including welds and structural integrity, for 15 years from the date of purchase.
