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 pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and pressure treated with CCA for long-term outdoor use. It is classified as Class 4 and meets ANSI O5.1 and AWPA standards. The pole is designed for direct burial, with 16 feet above grade and 4 feet below grade. Weight ranges from 450 to 550 pounds, with a minimum top circumference of 21 inches and a minimum circumference of 25 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. The pole is produced, debarked, and treated in the United States for consistent quality and durability in exterior environments.
Direct burial installation is supported, eliminating the need for anchor base hardware. The CCA treatment protects against termites, decay, and rot. This pole is intended for structural support of lighting, utility, and security equipment in outdoor settings where wood is preferred or required.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 20 foot treated wood pole is used in outdoor environments where structural support for lighting, utility distribution, or security equipment is required. It is commonly installed in commercial and industrial properties, municipal sites, and perimeter areas where direct burial wood poles are standard practice. The pole is specified for locations where steel or concrete alternatives are not preferred, and where wood?s natural resilience and treatment longevity are valued.
- Outdoor area lighting pole installations for parking lots, campuses, and facility perimeters
- Utility distribution pole applications for power or communication lines
- Security camera pole mounting in commercial, industrial, and municipal settings
This pole is selected for environments with direct soil contact, exposure to weather, and requirements for reliable structural support. It is used where treated wood is compatible with site conditions and local codes.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The Class 4 rating defines the pole?s minimum dimensions and load capacity, supporting typical area lighting fixtures, utility hardware, or security equipment. CCA treatment extends service life by protecting against decay, rot, and insect damage. The 20 foot length provides 16 feet of elevation above grade, suitable for mounting luminaires, cameras, or utility lines at standard heights for area coverage and clearance.
Southern Yellow Pine offers a balance of strength and workability for field modifications or hardware attachment. The pole?s diameter and circumference support standard bracket and arm mounting. Direct burial installation simplifies site preparation and reduces hardware requirements compared to anchor base poles.
Environmental exposure, soil conditions, and local code requirements should be reviewed to confirm compatibility with treated wood. The pole?s weight and dimensions require appropriate equipment for handling and placement during installation.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires excavation to a depth of 4 feet, with the remaining 16 feet above grade. The pole is set directly into the ground without anchor bolts or base plates. Backfill and compaction should be performed according to standard pole setting practices to ensure stability and vertical alignment.
CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to decay and insect activity, supporting extended service life in outdoor environments. Periodic inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage, ground line deterioration, or hardware corrosion. Hardware attachment should use corrosion-resistant fasteners compatible with treated wood.
Routine maintenance may include tightening of mounting hardware and visual inspection of the pole surface. Replacement or repair should follow standard utility or lighting pole procedures if structural integrity is compromised.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this wood pole serves as a structural support for area lighting fixtures, utility lines, or security cameras. Mounting brackets, arms, or crossarms are attached at the required height to position equipment for optimal coverage. The pole?s treated surface allows for direct attachment of hardware using lag bolts or through-bolts as specified by equipment manufacturers.
In lighting applications, luminaires are typically mounted at the top or on side arms to provide uniform illumination for parking lots, drive lanes, or facility perimeters. For utility use, the pole supports conductors, transformers, or communication lines at standard clearances. Security cameras are mounted to provide wide-area surveillance or targeted coverage of access points.
Adjustments to mounted equipment can be made as needed over the service life of the pole. The wood construction allows for field drilling or modification if additional hardware is required.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and is AWPA compliant. CCA treatment meets current standards for preservative protection. The product carries a 1 year warranty. All handling and installation should follow applicable safety guidelines for wood poles, including use of proper lifting equipment and personal protective equipment during placement and hardware attachment.
Compliance with local codes and standards should be confirmed prior to installation. Treated wood poles should not be cut or drilled in a manner that compromises the protective treatment at ground line or below grade.
