20 Foot Above Grade | 25 Foot Total Height Square Fiberglass Light Pole | 4 Inches Wide | Direct Burial | High Wind Zone Rated

Product Overview

This is a 25-foot total height, 4-inch wide square fiberglass light pole designed for direct burial installation. The pole provides 20 feet of height above grade, with 5 feet below grade for structural stability. It is engineered for use in high wind zones and includes a fluoropolymer coating for long-term UV protection. Typical installations include sports fields, coastal sites, and corrosive environments where non-conductive, corrosion-resistant performance is required.

The fiberglass construction offers a lightweight alternative to steel, making it easier to handle and install with standard equipment. The pole is supplied with a top cap and is available in multiple color options to match site requirements.

Core Performance and Output

This fiberglass pole supports a maximum Effective Projected Area (EPA) of 15 at 70 mph, scaling down to 1.4 at 130 mph. It is suitable for mounting single or multiple fixtures within these EPA and weight limits. The 4-inch width and .205-inch wall thickness provide structural rigidity for typical area and sports lighting applications.

Direct burial installation delivers stable performance in high wind conditions. At mounting heights up to 20 feet above grade, the pole is appropriate for medium-scale lighting layouts. Exceeding EPA or weight limits, or using excessive fixture arm lengths, can reduce wind load performance and structural safety.

Adjustability and Control Options

This pole is compatible with standard mounting hardware for area, roadway, and sports lighting fixtures. The non-conductive fiberglass material allows for safe integration with both line-voltage and low-voltage lighting systems. Fixture orientation and aiming depend on the selected mounting brackets and arms.

No integrated control features are included with the pole. Controls and sensors must be specified at the fixture level or as separate accessories. The pole?s design does not restrict the use of photocells, occupancy sensors, or wireless controls mounted to fixtures or arms.

Longevity and Reliability

The fiberglass construction is resistant to rot, rust, and corrosion, making it suitable for coastal, marine, and chemically aggressive environments. The fluoropolymer coating provides 25-year UV protection, preventing surface degradation and color fading.

The pole is designed to flex under wind load and return to its original shape, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure. Fire resistance is inherent to the material, as fiberglass does not sustain a flame. The pole does not break down with age under normal environmental exposure.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This pole weighs 68 lbs and features a 4-inch square cross-section with a .205-inch wall thickness. The direct burial design requires a 5-foot embedment below grade for structural anchoring. The pole is supplied with a top cap and finished in a fluoropolymer coating for durability.

Color options include bronze, black, white, gray, and custom finishes. The non-conductive, fire-resistant, and UV-protected fiberglass material is suitable for installations where electrical isolation and long-term weathering are required.

Where This Product Fits Best

This fiberglass light pole is intended for environments where corrosion resistance, non-conductivity, and high wind performance are critical. It is commonly used in outdoor sports fields, coastal areas, and locations with exposure to salt, chemicals, or moisture. The pole is also suitable for campus, roadway, and area lighting where lightweight installation and long service life are priorities.

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

The pole?s non-corrosive and non-conductive properties make it a fit for marine, wastewater, and chemical facility sites. It is not recommended for installations requiring mounting heights above 20 feet above grade or for applications exceeding the published EPA and weight limits.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Direct burial installation requires a 5-foot embedment below grade, with backfill and compaction per standard pole installation practices. The lightweight design allows for manual handling or use of light equipment. The pole is compatible with standard fixture mounting hardware and arms.

Routine inspection should focus on hardware integrity and fixture mounting points. The fiberglass material does not require painting or surface maintenance beyond periodic cleaning. The pole?s flexibility under wind load reduces the risk of permanent deformation or breakage.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting height is 20 feet above grade, supporting area and sports lighting fixtures within the specified EPA and weight limits. Spacing between poles depends on fixture output, beam distribution, and site lighting requirements. In sports field layouts, poles are often placed along field perimeters or at corners for uniform coverage.

Using higher EPA fixtures or longer arms may require reduced mounting heights or closer pole spacing to maintain structural safety. The lightweight pole design can reduce installation time, but care must be taken to avoid overloading with large or multiple fixtures.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This fiberglass pole is non-conductive and fire resistant. It is designed for use in high wind zones and meets published EPA ratings at specified wind speeds. The fluoropolymer coating provides long-term UV protection.

The pole includes a 7-year warranty. No additional certifications are specified for this product.
