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.

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. Customer is responsible for mounting 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 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 is a 20 foot wood utility pole, manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA for durability. The pole is built to ANSI Class 4 standards and is designed for direct burial installation.

The pole provides 16 feet of height above grade, with 4 feet intended for burial below grade. Minimum pole top circumference is 21 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 25 inches. The pole weight ranges from 450 to 550 pounds.

Each pole supports up to two cross arms, one per side, with a maximum load of 240 pounds per arm. The minimum pole top outside diameter is 6.7 inches, and the outside diameter 6 feet from the butt is 8 inches.

This pole is intended for use in commercial and industrial lighting projects where a treated wood pole is required for mounting area or sports lighting fixtures.

Where This Product Fits Best

This 20 foot Class 4 Southern Yellow Pine pole is suitable for outdoor lighting applications where a wood pole is preferred or required. Typical uses include sports fields, baseball fields, and general utility lighting installations.

The pole is designed for direct burial, making it appropriate for locations where poured foundations or anchor bases are not desired. The CCA treatment allows for installation in environments where resistance to decay, rot, and termites is necessary.

It is commonly selected for projects requiring up to 16 feet of mounting height above grade, with the ability to support multiple lighting fixtures on cross arms.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The ANSI Class 4 rating defines the structural capacity and minimum dimensions of the pole. Each cross arm can support up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware, with a maximum of two arms per pole.

The CCA treatment provides protection against decay and insect damage, supporting long-term outdoor use. The Southern Yellow Pine construction offers a balance of strength and workability for field modifications if required.

The pole's direct burial design requires a 4 foot embedment below grade, resulting in a stable 16 foot above-grade height for mounting lighting equipment.

Minimum outside diameters at the top and 6 feet from the butt ensure compatibility with standard cross arm and bracket hardware.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation is by direct burial, with 4 feet of the pole set below grade. Proper backfill and compaction are required to maintain stability and prevent movement over time.

Cross arms and mounting brackets are installed after the pole is set. The pole does not ship with cross arms attached. All mounting hardware and arms must be installed on site by qualified personnel.

The CCA treatment supports long-term resistance to rot and insect damage. Routine inspection of the pole and hardware is recommended to ensure continued structural integrity.

The pole weight of 450 to 550 pounds should be considered when planning for delivery, handling, and installation equipment.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

After installation, this pole is used to support area or sports lighting fixtures mounted on cross arms. Each arm can hold up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware, with up to six lights per arm depending on fixture weight and configuration.

Operators typically use the 16 foot above-grade height to achieve desired lighting coverage for fields, parking areas, or other outdoor spaces. The pole's treated wood construction allows for reliable performance in outdoor environments.

Adjustments to lighting orientation or fixture replacement are performed at the cross arm level. The pole itself requires minimal ongoing maintenance beyond periodic inspection for physical damage or decay.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and is classified as ANSI Class 4.

The pole is treated with CCA to resist decay and insect damage.

LED Lighting Supply provides a 1 year warranty on this pole.
