10 Foot Round Steel Light Pole | 3 Inch Diameter | Anchor Base

Product Overview

This 10 foot round steel light pole features a 3 inch diameter shaft constructed from 11 gauge steel. The pole weighs 46 pounds and ships with an anchor base mounting configuration and included top cap.

The finish consists of hot dip galvanizing followed by a bronze powder coat. This dual-layer finish provides corrosion protection under the visible bronze exterior.

The anchor base design uses a bolt circle ranging from 8 to 10 inches with bolt projection of 2.75 inches. This mounting style requires a concrete foundation with embedded anchor bolts prior to pole installation.

Where This Product Fits Best

A 10 foot pole height works well for pathway lighting, small parking areas, building perimeter applications, and pedestrian-scale site lighting where taller poles would be visually out of scale or unnecessary for the coverage area.

The 3 inch diameter and 11 gauge wall thickness make this pole appropriate for small to medium fixture loads. EPA ratings should be matched to local wind speed requirements and the effective projected area of the selected fixture and mounting arm.

Bronze finish suits sites where appearance matters, such as retail centers, hospitality properties, office campuses, and residential communities with architectural standards.

Performance and Functional Considerations

EPA ratings define how much wind load the pole can support at various wind speeds. At 90 mph, this pole supports 20.1 square feet of effective projected area. At 110 mph, that capacity drops to 13.3 square feet. Fixture EPA values are typically listed in manufacturer specifications and must fall within these limits for the applicable design wind speed.

The 8 to 10 inch bolt circle accommodates standard anchor bolt templates for poles of this class. Verify that your foundation design and anchor bolt spacing fall within this range before installation.

At 46 pounds, the pole can typically be handled and set by a two-person crew with appropriate rigging, though site conditions and safety requirements may vary.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Anchor base installation requires a poured concrete foundation with pre-set anchor bolts matching the specified bolt circle and projection. The foundation must be sized and reinforced appropriately for site soil conditions and local wind load requirements.

The hot dip galvanized substrate provides base-level corrosion resistance. The bronze powder coat over galvanizing adds a finished appearance and an additional protective layer. Periodic inspection of the finish, base plate, and anchor hardware is typical for long-term maintenance.

The included top cap seals the pole opening to reduce moisture and debris intrusion into the shaft interior.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this pole serves as a mounting platform for area lights, flood lights, or decorative fixtures at pedestrian scale. The 3 inch diameter accepts standard tenon-mount fixtures designed for that shaft size.

At 10 feet, the pole positions light sources close enough to ground level for even distribution across walkways and small lots without the intensity drop-off that comes with taller poles. This height also keeps fixtures within reach of lift equipment commonly available to maintenance crews.

The bronze finish typically requires no additional treatment after installation. Over time, inspect the base plate connection and anchor bolt condition, particularly in areas with freeze-thaw cycles or corrosive environments.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole carries a 1 year warranty.

The hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish protects the steel structure from corrosion. The anchor base design transfers wind and fixture loads directly to the concrete foundation.

EPA values are provided for wind speeds from 70 mph to 120 mph. Local building codes or project engineers determine the applicable design wind speed for your site.
