Our 20 Foot Class 3 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.

Our 20 ft round wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields, and a utility pole project. You can add 1 light arms per side, 2 in total. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs of lights per arm. Availability can change based on the quantity and length required as different sizes can have different lead times. Our poles are built with durability in mind to ensure long-lasting performance.

Options Available:

Cross Arms (2 per pole, 1 per side) and Mounting Brackets. The customer is responsible for mounting the Cross Arm after poles are delivered. Poles do not ship with cross arms attached.

These are the lights we typically mount on the cross arms. Up to 6 lights per arm, not to exceed 240 total pounds of fixtures and hardware.


Delivery is made with a flatbed truck and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a forklift 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-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 is a 20-foot Class 3 wood pole made from Southern Yellow Pine, pressure treated with CCA preservative. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards for protection against termites, decay, and rot.

Total pole height is 20 feet, with 16 feet above grade and 4 feet of burial depth. The pole weighs between 500 and 600 pounds. Minimum circumference at the top is 23 inches, with a minimum circumference of 27 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. This translates to a minimum top diameter of 7.321 inches and a minimum diameter of 8.594 inches at the 6-foot measurement point.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is commonly used for sports field lighting, baseball field installations, and utility pole applications where a 16-foot above-grade height meets project requirements. The Class 3 rating and CCA treatment make it suitable for outdoor installations where ground contact and exposure to moisture, insects, and decay are expected.

Direct burial installation eliminates the need for a concrete foundation or anchor base system. Sites with suitable soil conditions for a 4-foot burial depth can use this pole without additional foundation work.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The pole accepts up to 2 cross arms total, with 1 cross arm per side. Each arm supports a maximum of 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware combined. Up to 6 light fixtures can be mounted per arm, provided the total weight does not exceed the arm capacity.

The ANSI O5.1 specification establishes the dimensional and structural requirements for the Class 3 rating. The minimum circumference and diameter values at the top and 6 feet from the butt define the pole''s taper and structural profile.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole is designed for direct burial at a 4-foot depth. Weight ranges from 500 to 600 pounds, so mechanical lifting equipment is required for handling and setting. Cross arms are shipped separately and must be mounted after delivery. Poles do not arrive with cross arms attached.

CCA pressure treatment protects against termite damage, decay, and rot over the service life of the pole. The treatment is applied to American Wood Preservers Association standards.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Once installed, this pole provides a stable mounting platform for area and sports lighting at 16 feet above grade. Cross arms are configured on-site after the pole is set, allowing field crews to position arms based on aiming requirements before fixtures are mounted.

The 240-pound-per-arm capacity supports typical LED sports lighting configurations. Fixture count and weight must be calculated during layout to stay within the arm limit. Maintenance access for fixture service or re-aiming requires a bucket truck or similar equipment due to the mounting height.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Treatment follows American Wood Preservers Association standards. The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States.

Warranty coverage is 1 year.
