Product Overview
This 15 Foot Above Grade, 18 Foot Total Height Square Steel Light Pole is designed for direct burial installation. The pole is constructed from 11 gauge steel, measures 4 inches wide, and weighs 121 lbs. It features a hot dip galvanized and powder coated bronze finish for corrosion resistance. The pole includes a 2 3/8 inch tenon for fixture mounting. With a buried depth of 3 feet below grade, this pole is suitable for exterior lighting applications requiring a robust, long-lasting support structure. EPA ratings are provided for wind speeds from 70 mph to 140 mph.
The direct burial design eliminates the need for anchor bolts or base plates, streamlining installation in new construction or site upgrades. The finish and material selection support use in environments where durability and weather resistance are required. This pole is commonly specified for commercial, municipal, and site lighting projects where a 15-foot mounting height is appropriate.
Where This Product Fits Best
This steel light pole is intended for outdoor environments where a 15-foot above grade mounting height is required for area, roadway, or site lighting. It is suitable for commercial, municipal, and industrial properties that require reliable pole performance and corrosion resistance. The direct burial configuration is used where below-grade installation is preferred or required by site conditions.

- roadway lighting
- area lighting
- commercial site lighting
- sports facility lighting
- campus lighting
- industrial yard lighting
- dealership lighting
The pole?s hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish provides protection in wet, humid, or corrosive outdoor environments. The 4-inch square profile and 11 gauge steel construction support mounting of standard area and site lighting fixtures within the EPA limits specified for each wind speed.
Performance and Functional Considerations
This pole provides a 15-foot mounting height above grade, with a total length of 18 feet to accommodate 3 feet of direct burial. The 4-inch width and 11 gauge steel construction deliver structural strength for typical area and site lighting loads. EPA ratings are specified for wind speeds from 70 mph to 140 mph, supporting fixture selection and site engineering requirements.
The included 2 3/8 inch tenon is compatible with most standard slipfitter and bracket-mounted luminaires. The hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish resists corrosion and abrasion, supporting long-term use in exposed outdoor locations. The pole?s weight and dimensions are suitable for manual or equipment-assisted handling during installation.
Direct burial installation requires proper excavation and backfill to ensure stability and code compliance. The pole is not designed for base plate or anchor bolt mounting. All mounting hardware and accessories must be compatible with the 4-inch square profile and tenon size.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires a 3-foot minimum depth below grade. The pole should be set in compacted soil or concrete backfill as required by site conditions and local codes. The 121 lb weight allows for handling with standard lifting equipment or by crew for most installations.
The hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish minimizes maintenance requirements and extends service life in outdoor environments. Periodic inspection of the pole, tenon, and mounted fixtures is recommended to ensure continued structural integrity and corrosion resistance.
The 2 3/8 inch tenon supports a wide range of area, roadway, and site lighting fixtures. Ensure that total fixture EPA and weight do not exceed the pole?s rated capacity for the site?s wind zone. The pole is covered by a 1-year warranty.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
This 15-foot above grade steel light pole is commonly installed in parking lots, commercial sites, and along roadways to support area and site lighting fixtures. It is also used in sports facility perimeters, campus walkways, industrial yards, and dealership lots where a 15-foot mounting height is required for uniform light distribution and site coverage.
The direct burial design is selected for new construction, site upgrades, or locations where base plate mounting is not practical. The pole?s finish and material selection support use in regions with high humidity, precipitation, or exposure to de-icing chemicals.
Fixture mounting is typically accomplished using slipfitter brackets or direct tenon-mount luminaires. The pole?s EPA ratings are referenced during fixture selection to ensure compliance with wind load requirements.
