Our 20 Foot Class 4 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 4 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 16 feet of height above grade with a 4 foot embedded section.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Its listed applications include sports field lighting, utility distribution, rural roadway lighting, and agricultural property lighting.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is defined by the Class 4 rating, 20 foot total length, and direct burial configuration. The pole has 16 feet of exposed height after installation.
Minimum top circumference is 21 inches, with a minimum circumference of 25 inches at 6 feet from the butt. Minimum top outside diameter is 6.7 inches, and outside diameter at 6 feet from the butt is 8 inches.
Fixture weight, fixture EPA, wind loading, and attachment hardware requirements are not established by the supplied product data. These project conditions must be verified before pole loading is finalized.
Adjustability and Control Options
This wood pole has no adjustable height feature. Final exposed height is determined by the 4 foot direct burial depth.
No lighting controls, electrical components, brackets, or fixture mounting hardware are included in the supplied product data. These components must be selected separately for the intended installation.
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 manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards. Warranty coverage is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is constructed from debarked Southern Yellow Pine grown and treated in the United States. Pole weight is listed at 450 to 550 pounds.
The tapered wood profile provides a 6.7 inch minimum top outside diameter and an 8 inch outside diameter at 6 feet from the butt. Field handling and installation equipment should account for the listed pole weight and total length.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits direct burial installations requiring a 20 foot wood pole with 16 feet above grade. The application list covers sports field lighting, utility distribution, rural roadway lighting, and agricultural property lighting.
- baseball field lighting
- softball field lighting
- soccer field lighting
