Product Overview
This 15 Foot Above Grade Square Fiberglass Light Pole is designed for direct burial installations in environments requiring high wind zone performance and long-term durability. The total pole height is 18.5 feet, with 3.5 feet below grade and 15 feet above grade. The pole is constructed from non-conductive, fire-resistant fiberglass and finished with a fluoropolymer coating for UV protection. The 4-inch square profile supports a range of mounting needs, and the included top cap ensures a finished installation. The pole is available in multiple standard colors and custom finishes.
With a pole weight of 51 lbs and a wall thickness of .205 inches, this fiberglass pole is engineered for strength in both compression and tension. It is rated for high wind zones, with EPA ratings provided from 70 mph up to 160 mph. The pole does not rot, rust, or corrode, and is designed to flex under load and return to its original shape. The 7-year warranty covers structural integrity and finish.
Where This Product Fits Best
This fiberglass light pole is suited for outdoor environments where corrosion resistance, non-conductivity, and high wind performance are required. Typical installations include sports fields, coastal areas, and sites with exposure to corrosive elements or where electrical isolation is a priority. The direct burial design eliminates the need for anchor bolts or base plates, streamlining installation in soil or sand substrates.

- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- coastal lighting
- corrosive environment lighting
- marina lighting
- wastewater facility lighting
The pole?s fiberglass construction and fluoropolymer finish provide resistance to salt, moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure. It is suitable for both inland and coastal installations, as well as locations with frequent storms or high wind events.
Performance and Functional Considerations
This pole supports fixtures and equipment within the EPA limits specified for wind speeds from 70 mph to 160 mph. The 4-inch square profile is compatible with standard mounting hardware for area lights, flood lights, and security cameras. The non-conductive material reduces risk in environments with electrical hazards or where grounding is a concern.
The direct burial design requires a 3.5-foot embedment below grade, providing stability without the need for a concrete base. The pole?s lightweight construction simplifies handling and installation, especially in remote or difficult-to-access sites. The fluoropolymer coating extends service life by protecting against UV degradation and surface wear.
Fire resistance is inherent to the fiberglass material, and the pole will not sustain a flame. The structure is engineered to flex under wind load and return to its original form, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure in severe weather.
Color options allow for visual integration with site aesthetics or compliance with local requirements. Custom colors are available for specialized projects.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation involves excavating to the required depth and placing the pole directly in the ground. No base plate or anchor bolts are needed. The lightweight design reduces equipment requirements and labor for unloading and setting the pole. The included top cap provides a finished appearance and protects the pole interior from debris and moisture.
Routine maintenance is minimal. The pole does not require painting or surface treatment over its service life. The fluoropolymer finish resists fading, chalking, and surface degradation. The non-corrosive properties are especially beneficial in coastal, marine, or chemical-exposed environments.
Periodic inspection should confirm that the pole remains plumb and that the burial depth is maintained, especially in areas with shifting soils or erosion. The pole?s flexibility and strength reduce the likelihood of damage from wind or impact.
End users should verify that attached fixtures and equipment do not exceed the EPA ratings for the site?s wind zone. The pole is suitable for both new construction and replacement projects where corrosion or electrical isolation is a concern.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
This fiberglass light pole is commonly installed for sports field lighting, including baseball and football fields, where high wind resistance and non-conductivity are required. It is also used in coastal and marina environments to support area lighting and security equipment, taking advantage of its corrosion resistance and UV protection. Wastewater facilities and other corrosive environments benefit from the pole?s chemical resistance and long service life.
Driving ranges and other recreational sites use this pole for mounting flood lights and area lights, especially where steel or aluminum poles would be subject to corrosion or electrical hazards. The direct burial design is preferred in locations where concrete bases are impractical or where installation speed is a priority.
In all cases, the pole?s ability to flex under load and return to its original shape provides added resilience in severe weather. The non-conductive construction is valued in environments with electrical safety concerns.
Color selection allows the pole to blend with site architecture or meet specific project requirements.
