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.
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 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 pole is a Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine utility pole for direct burial installation. It provides 16 feet of height above grade with 4 feet installed below grade.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. It is used where a wood light pole or utility pole configuration is required.
Core Performance and Output
This pole has a 20 foot overall length, a 500 to 600 pound pole weight, and Class 3 ANSI construction. Minimum top diameter is 7.3 inches, with an 8.6 inch diameter measured 6 feet from the butt.
Structural planning must account for the supported fixture, hardware, loading conditions, and site requirements. EPA ratings and fixture weight limits are not established by the supplied product data.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-length direct burial wood pole with no integral adjustment or control components. The installed above-grade height is determined by the 4 foot burial depth.
Lighting controls, fixture controls, and electrical equipment are separate from the pole. Control compatibility is not established by the supplied product data.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine pole receives CCA treatment. It is pressure treated and preservative treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The treatment is intended to prevent damage from termites, decay, and rot. The pole includes a 1 year warranty.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is made from Southern Yellow Pine grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Minimum pole top circumference is 23 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 27 inches.
Direct burial installation places 4 feet of the pole below grade and leaves 16 feet above grade. The 500 to 600 pound weight requires appropriate handling equipment and installation planning.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits wood pole installations supporting field, property, roadway, and utility distribution needs within the listed wood light and utility pole applications.
- sports field lighting
- 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 structural suitability depends on site loading and the equipment supported by the pole.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation is by direct burial with 4 feet below grade. The completed pole provides 16 feet of above-grade height.
Site preparation must account for the pole weight, burial location, and supported equipment. Ongoing inspection should address the below-grade installation area and the condition of mounted equipment.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
The pole is installed with 16 feet above grade for baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, sports field lighting, recreational field lighting, area lighting, rural roadway lighting, agricultural property lighting, and utility distribution.
Layouts depend on the required pole locations, fixture arrangement, and target coverage for the selected application. A higher fixture output can reduce pole locations, but may change glare and distribution across the planned area.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. Treatment follows American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The pole includes a 1 year warranty. Installation must follow the direct burial configuration provided for this pole.
