20 Foot Above Grade | 25 Foot Total Height Round Fiberglass Light Pole | 6 Inch Diameter | Direct Burial | High Wind Zone Rated

Product Overview

This is a 25-foot total height round fiberglass light pole, designed for direct burial installation with 20 feet above grade and a 6-inch diameter. The pole is engineered for high wind zone applications and is suitable for supporting lighting fixtures in environments where corrosion resistance and non-conductivity are required. Typical use includes sports field lighting, coastal area lighting, and utility pole applications where steel or wood alternatives may not be suitable due to environmental or maintenance constraints.

The fiberglass construction provides a lightweight solution at 80 lbs, simplifying handling and installation compared to steel or concrete poles. This pole is commonly specified for new installations or replacement projects in corrosive, coastal, or high-wind environments where long-term durability and minimal maintenance are priorities.

Core Performance and Output

This fiberglass pole supports a maximum Effective Projected Area (EPA) of 12 at 70 mph, 7.5 at 100 mph, 5.5 at 130 mph, and 3 at 160 mph wind speeds. These ratings define the total surface area of fixtures and brackets that can be safely mounted at the top of the pole without exceeding structural limits. The 6-inch diameter and direct burial design provide stable support for typical sports field, roadway, and area lighting fixtures within these EPA and weight constraints.

The pole?s structural performance is optimized for environments with high wind exposure, including coastal and open field sites. Exceeding EPA or mounting height recommendations can result in reduced structural safety or premature pole fatigue. For installations above 20 feet or with large fixture arrays, verify total EPA and weight to ensure compliance with wind load ratings.

Adjustability and Control Options

This pole does not include integrated adjustability or control features. Fixture orientation and aiming depend on the mounting hardware and brackets selected for the specific lighting application. The pole?s round profile accommodates a range of standard tenon and side-mount brackets for area, sports, or roadway lighting.

Control systems such as photocells, wireless nodes, or smart controls are supported at the fixture level and can be integrated as required. The pole?s non-conductive fiberglass construction does not interfere with wireless control signals or fixture-mounted sensors.

Longevity and Reliability

The fiberglass material provides high resistance to corrosion, UV exposure, and chemical attack, making it suitable for coastal, marina, and wastewater facility environments. The acrylic enamel finish further protects against weathering and surface degradation. The pole is not susceptible to rust or rot, reducing long-term maintenance requirements compared to steel or wood alternatives.

With a 15-year warranty, this pole is designed for extended service life in demanding outdoor conditions. Routine inspection of mounting hardware and burial depth is recommended to maintain structural integrity over time.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This pole is constructed from high-strength fiberglass with a 6-inch diameter and a total length of 25 feet, providing 20 feet above grade after direct burial. The pole weighs 80 lbs, allowing for manual handling and installation with standard equipment. The acrylic enamel finish is available in bronze or custom colors to match site requirements.

The direct burial design eliminates the need for anchor bolts or base plates, reducing installation complexity and potential corrosion points. The pole?s non-conductive properties provide additional safety in environments with electrical exposure risks.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fiberglass light pole is suited for outdoor environments where corrosion resistance, high wind performance, and non-conductivity are required. It is commonly used in sports field lighting, coastal area lighting, and utility pole applications where steel or wood poles may not provide adequate durability or safety.

• baseball field lighting
• sports field lighting
• coastal lighting
• marina lighting
• corrosive environment lighting
• roadway lighting
• area lighting
• campus lighting

The pole?s fiberglass construction is well suited for installations in salt air, chemical, or high humidity environments. It is also appropriate for locations with frequent high wind events or where electrical isolation is a priority.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Direct burial installation requires a 5-foot depth below grade, providing 20 feet of pole height above ground. The lightweight design allows for manual positioning and alignment during installation. Standard trenching and backfill procedures apply, with attention to compaction and drainage at the base to prevent settling or movement over time.

Routine inspection of the pole, burial depth, and mounting hardware is recommended, especially in high wind or corrosive environments. The pole?s non-conductive and corrosion-resistant properties reduce the need for frequent maintenance, but fixture and bracket hardware should be checked periodically for integrity and tightness.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting heights are 20 feet above grade, supporting single or multiple fixtures depending on EPA and weight limits. Fixture spacing and layout are determined by the lighting design requirements of the field, roadway, or area being illuminated. For sports field and area lighting, poles are often spaced to provide uniform coverage and minimize shadows.

When supporting multiple fixtures or large arrays, total EPA and wind load must be calculated to avoid exceeding structural ratings. Higher EPA loads may require increased spacing between poles or reduced fixture count per pole to maintain safety and performance.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole is rated for high wind zones with published EPA values at 70, 100, 130, and 160 mph. The fiberglass construction is non-conductive and corrosion resistant. The pole includes a 15-year warranty. All finishes are acrylic enamel for added weather resistance.

Standard safety practices for direct burial pole installation and fixture mounting apply. Verify all hardware and mounting brackets are compatible with fiberglass construction and meet local code requirements.
