Delivery is made with a flatbed truck and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a fork lift or appropriate similar vehicle to offload – customer supplied. Customers are responsible for any costs associated with delivery rescheduling because of improper scheduling or not having the proper offloading equipment or area to store poles available at the time of delivery. Please contact a sales representative prior to purchasing to ensure all the project details are clear.
Pricing: Does not include cost of shipping. Shipping is available to the lower 48 USA states. We can supply a budgetary shipping quote or a firm shipping quote that is good for 14 days.
Disclaimer: LED Lighting Supply is not responsible for improper loading (ie what is mounted to the pole), installation costs, or foundation design of light poles. Dimensions and specifications of poles are subject to change without notice but the pole top and butt dimensions will always be within ANSI specifications. Wood poles are the ideal option for most field projects as concrete poles require more frequent maintenance and replacement. While our main product line is southern yellow pine, we at times are able to offer other species including Douglas fir and red pine. CCA treatment generally will result in the poles being free of insects for decades to come.
Please be advised that our wood poles are covered solely by a 1-year workmanship warranty, which ensures that the poles are free from defects from the manufacturing process, and structural integrity, for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage resulting from external factors, misuse, or normal wear and tear.

Product Overview
This 20 foot wood utility pole is a Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 16 feet above grade with a 4 foot buried depth.
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. It is used for wood light pole and utility pole applications where a treated wood structure is required.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is based on the Class 1 ANSI classification, Southern Yellow Pine construction, and direct burial installation. The pole has a minimum top circumference of 27 inches and a minimum circumference of 31 inches at 6 feet from the butt.
Total pole weight is 600 to 800 pounds. Site layout, supported equipment, soil conditions, and loading requirements must be reviewed before installation because EPA ratings and supported fixture weight limits are not provided.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-length 20 foot pole with 16 feet of installed height above grade. Its installation depth is fixed at 4 feet below grade.
No adjustable-height components or control options are identified in the supplied product data. Pole placement must be established before direct burial installation.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine pole receives CCA pressure treatment. The preservative treatment is intended to prevent damage from termites, decay, and rot.
The pole is treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards. Long-term condition depends on proper installation and ongoing inspection of the exposed pole and ground-line area.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and has a minimum pole top outside diameter of 8.6 inches. The outside diameter at 6 feet from the butt is 9.8 inches.
This pole has a natural tapered wood profile rather than a uniform-diameter shaft. Installation handling must account for its 600 to 800 pound weight.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits outdoor installations requiring direct-buried wood pole construction. Its 16 foot above-grade height suits lower-height field, roadway, property, and utility distribution layouts within the listed applications.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- sports field lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment supports installations where termite exposure, decay, and rot are relevant concerns. Final suitability still depends on site loading, soil conditions, and the equipment attached to the pole.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole installs by direct burial with 4 feet below grade and 16 feet above grade. The excavation and setting process must accommodate the pole’s weight and tapered butt dimensions.
Maintain the intended installed depth during setting. Periodic inspection should focus on the exposed wood, ground-line condition, and any installed equipment connections.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, football field lighting, and sports field lighting, these poles are placed according to the field layout and required equipment locations. The 16 foot above-grade dimension establishes the available mounting elevation.
For rural roadway lighting, agricultural property lighting, and utility distribution, pole locations follow the planned route or property layout. Spacing varies with the project layout and supported equipment requirements because the supplied data does not establish spacing values.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. It is pressure treated and preservative treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty period is 1 year. Direct burial installation requires confirmation of site conditions and safe handling procedures for the pole weight.
