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.

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.

  • football field lighting
  • sports field lighting
  • utility distribution
  • area lighting
  • municipal lighting
  • rural roadway lighting

The pole is suitable for direct burial in soil and is commonly installed in locations with moderate to high wind loads, open fields, or rural corridors. The CCA treatment and Southern Yellow Pine construction support use in humid, wet, or insect-prone environments.

Performance and Functional Considerations

This Class 2 pole provides a balance of strength and manageable weight for field handling and installation. The 20-foot length with 16 feet above grade is appropriate for mounting luminaires, distribution equipment, or utility hardware at standard heights for sports fields and area lighting. The minimum top and butt diameters support compatibility with a range of bracket and arm mounting systems.CCA treatment extends service life by protecting against biological degradation. The pole?s dimensions and class rating are suitable for supporting moderate to heavy loads, including multiple fixtures or crossarms, when installed to standard engineering practices. All dimensions and tolerances conform to ANSI O5.1.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Direct burial installation requires a 4-foot minimum embedment below grade. The pole?s weight and size allow for handling with standard lifting equipment. Southern Yellow Pine is widely used for its strength and workability. CCA treatment is factory-applied and does not require field application.Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage, ground line decay, or hardware corrosion. The pole is compatible with standard wood pole hardware, including through-bolts, lag screws, and pole bands. Service life is dependent on site conditions, installation quality, and maintenance practices.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
