20 Foot Round Fiberglass Light Pole | 6 Inch Diameter | Anchor Base | High Wind Zone Rated

Product Overview

This 20 Foot Round Fiberglass Light Pole is designed for outdoor area and sports lighting applications that require non-conductive, corrosion-resistant support structures. The pole stands 20 feet tall with a 6-inch diameter and is finished with an acrylic enamel coating for added durability. Anchor base installation is standard, supporting secure mounting in concrete foundations for permanent site lighting.

Fiberglass construction provides a lightweight alternative to steel or aluminum, with a total weight of 85 lbs. This pole is engineered for high wind zones and is suitable for environments where exposure to salt, moisture, or chemicals is a concern. Typical installations include sports fields, coastal areas, and corrosive industrial sites.

Core Performance and Output

This pole is rated for 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. These ratings define the maximum fixture and bracket surface area the pole can safely support at each wind speed. The 6-inch diameter and fiberglass material provide structural stability while minimizing weight and simplifying handling during installation.

Anchor base design allows for secure attachment to concrete foundations using 3/4-inch anchor bolts. The pole is suitable for mounting single or multiple fixtures, provided total EPA and weight limits are not exceeded. Excessive fixture loading or mounting at exposed, high-wind sites may require additional engineering review.

Adjustability and Control Options

This fiberglass pole supports standard area and sports lighting fixtures with compatible mounting hardware. Fixture orientation and aiming are determined by the bracket or tenon system selected for the application. The pole itself does not include integrated tilt or rotation mechanisms.

Control options such as photocells, motion sensors, or wireless controls are determined by the fixture and accessory selection, not the pole. Conduit entry and wiring access are provided at the base for integration with site electrical systems.

Longevity and Reliability

The fiberglass construction resists corrosion from salt, moisture, and chemicals, making it suitable for coastal, marina, and wastewater environments. The acrylic enamel finish provides additional UV and weather protection. The pole is non-conductive, reducing risk in electrical fault scenarios.

Long-term reliability is supported by a 15-year warranty. Fiberglass poles do not rust or pit like steel and require minimal maintenance beyond periodic inspection for surface damage or impact.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This pole is manufactured from high-strength fiberglass with a uniform 6-inch round profile. The acrylic enamel finish is available in bronze or custom colors to match site requirements. The anchor base is engineered for secure bolt-down installation with an 8-inch bolt circle and 3/4-inch diameter bolts.

The pole weighs 85 lbs, allowing for manual handling and installation with standard equipment. Fiberglass construction provides electrical insulation and flexibility under wind load, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure in severe weather.

Where This Product Fits Best

This 20-foot fiberglass pole is suited for outdoor lighting in sports, coastal, and corrosive environments where non-conductive and corrosion-resistant materials are required. It is commonly used for mounting area and sports lighting fixtures in locations exposed to high winds or salt air.

• baseball field lighting
• football field lighting
• sports field lighting
• driving range lighting
• coastal lighting
• corrosive environment lighting
• marina lighting
• wastewater facility lighting

The pole is designed for environments where steel or aluminum poles may corrode or where electrical insulation is a priority. It is not intended for use in locations requiring direct burial installation or where pole heights above 20 feet are needed.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Anchor base installation requires a concrete foundation with a specified bolt pattern. The pole?s weight and size allow for handling by a two-person crew with standard lifting equipment. Wiring access is provided at the base for connection to site power.

Routine inspection should focus on checking the finish for chips or cracks and verifying that anchor bolts remain secure. Fiberglass poles do not require painting or rust prevention. In corrosive or coastal environments, periodic rinsing may help maintain appearance.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Typical mounting height is 20 feet, supporting area and sports lighting fixtures with total EPA and weight within the pole?s rated limits. Fixture spacing and layout depend on the lighting design and field size, with poles often placed along field perimeters or at corners for uniform coverage.

Higher EPA fixtures or multiple luminaires per pole may require closer attention to wind load calculations. Using lower EPA fixtures can allow for wider spacing or additional accessories, but may reduce total light output per pole.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole is non-conductive and corrosion-resistant, supporting safe operation in high-risk and corrosive environments. EPA ratings are provided for wind speeds up to 160 mph. The pole is covered by a 15-year warranty.

All anchor base hardware and installation methods must comply with local codes and engineering requirements. The pole is suitable for use in environments where electrical insulation and corrosion resistance are required by specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum fixture EPA this pole can support?

A: The maximum EPA is 12 at 70 mph, 7.5 at 100 mph, 5.5 at 130 mph, and 3 at 160 mph. Total fixture and bracket EPA must not exceed these values for the corresponding wind speed.

Q: Is this pole suitable for coastal or corrosive environments?

A: Yes, fiberglass construction and acrylic enamel finish provide corrosion resistance for coastal, marina, and chemical exposure sites.

Q: What type of foundation is required for anchor base installation?

A: A concrete foundation with an 8-inch bolt circle and 3/4-inch diameter anchor bolts is required. Bolt projection and embedment must match the supplied hardware specifications.

Q: Can this pole be used for direct burial installation?

A: No, this model is designed for anchor base installation only. Direct burial is not supported.

Q: How should fixture spacing and pole layout be planned?

A: Fixture spacing and pole layout depend on the lighting design, field size, and fixture EPA. Always verify that total EPA per pole does not exceed the rated limits for the site wind speed.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Is this pole appropriate for wastewater facility lighting?

A: Yes, the fiberglass material and finish are suitable for corrosive environments such as wastewater facilities.

Q: Can this pole be used for marina lighting applications?

A: Yes, it is commonly installed in marina and coastal locations due to its corrosion resistance and non-conductive properties.

Q: Is this pole suitable for sports field lighting such as baseball or football fields?

A: Yes, it is designed for sports field lighting applications, provided fixture EPA and mounting height requirements are met.

Q: What are the limitations for fixture mounting on this pole?

A: Total fixture and bracket EPA must not exceed the rated values for the site wind speed. Overloading may compromise structural integrity.
