20 Foot Wood Pole | Class 2 | Treated | Southern Yellow Pine
This 20 foot Southern Yellow Pine utility pole, treated with CCA and rated ANSI Class 2, is a strong choice for supporting LED lighting in demanding outdoor environments where direct burial is required. Its structural rating accommodates heavier or multiple fixtures, making it suitable for parking lots, sports fields, perimeter lighting, and facility access roads. The CCA treatment protects against decay and insect damage, ensuring durability in moist or soil-contact settings. Standardized dimensions support compatibility with common mounting hardware, and the 16 feet above-grade height provides effective light distribution while minimizing interference with vehicles or equipment.

Our 20 Foot Class 2 CCA Treated Southern Yellow Pine Poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. They are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Poles are pressure treated and preservative treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards to prevent damage from termites, decay and rot regardless of the species used.
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 light and utility pole is a Class 2 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 16 feet of height above grade with a 4 foot buried depth.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Its construction supports light pole and utility distribution installations where a wood pole is required.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is defined by the Class 2 rating, 20 foot total length, and direct burial installation method. The pole weighs 550 to 650 pounds and requires handling equipment appropriate for that weight during placement.
Sixteen feet remains above grade after installation. The supplied data does not establish EPA ratings, fixture weight limits, or wind-load capacity, so those project requirements must be confirmed before selecting attached equipment.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-length 20 foot pole with no adjustable height configuration. Installation depth is specified at 4 feet below grade.
Lighting controls and electrical components are not included in the supplied product data. Control selection depends on the fixtures and electrical system installed on the pole.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine pole is pressure treated with CCA preservative treatment. The treatment is intended to prevent damage from termites, decay, and rot.
The pole is treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards stated in the product data. Warranty coverage is one year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Southern Yellow Pine provides the wood construction for this Class 2 pole.
Minimum top circumference is 25 inches, with a minimum top outside diameter of 7.9 inches. At 6 feet from the butt, minimum circumference is 29 inches and outside diameter is 9.2 inches.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits direct-burial installations requiring a 16 foot above-grade wood support structure. Its configuration aligns with lower-height field, property, roadway, and utility distribution layouts.
- baseball field lighting
- softball field lighting
- recreational field lighting
- area lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment addresses termite, decay, and rot exposure. Final suitability also depends on site loading, attached equipment, soil conditions, and local installation requirements.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Install this pole by direct burial with 4 feet below grade and 16 feet above grade. The 550 to 650 pound pole weight affects unloading, handling, lifting, and placement planning.
Confirm pole condition, treatment condition, and above-grade hardware during routine site inspections. Attached fixtures, electrical equipment, and structural loads require separate evaluation because their limits are not provided with the pole data.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, recreational field lighting, and area lighting, the 16 foot above-grade height establishes the available mounting elevation. Pole placement follows the required lighting layout and the direct-burial location.
For rural roadway lighting, agricultural property lighting, and utility distribution, pole locations are set around the planned route, service points, or coverage area. Layout spacing varies with the attached equipment and project requirements; no spacing value is established in the supplied product data.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. The pole is pressure treated and preservative treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Warranty coverage is one year. Use handling and installation practices appropriate for the pole weight and direct burial installation.
