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-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 4 wood utility pole manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and pressure treated with CCA preservative. The pole provides 16 feet of usable height above grade with a 4-foot direct burial depth. Total pole weight ranges from 450 to 550 pounds.

The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards. CCA treatment protects against termite damage, decay, and rot. The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States.

Minimum circumference at the pole top is 21 inches with a minimum diameter of 6.684 inches. Six feet from the butt, minimum circumference is 25 inches with a minimum diameter of 7.957 inches.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is sized for sports field lighting, baseball field lighting, and general utility pole applications where 16 feet of above-grade height meets project requirements. The Class 4 rating and dimensional profile support moderate fixture loads in outdoor environments.

Direct burial installation eliminates the need for a concrete foundation or base plate assembly. The 4-foot burial depth is factored into the 20-foot total length, leaving 16 feet exposed after installation.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The pole accepts up to 2 cross arms total, with a maximum of 1 cross arm per side. Each cross arm supports up to 240 pounds of attached weight, accommodating fixtures and mounting hardware combined.

Cross arms and mounting brackets are available separately. Cross arms are not attached during shipping and must be mounted on site after pole delivery. The 240-pound-per-arm capacity supports configurations of up to 6 light fixtures per arm, provided total fixture and hardware weight does not exceed the limit.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole installs via direct burial at 4 feet below grade. No anchor bolts, base plates, or concrete footings are required for the burial method, though soil conditions and local codes may influence installation approach.

Pole weight of 450 to 550 pounds requires equipment for handling and setting. Cross arm installation is performed after the pole is set in place. CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to rot, decay, and termite damage in ground-contact and above-ground exposure.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities use this pole to support area lighting at sports fields, baseball diamonds, and similar outdoor venues where moderate mounting height and fixture capacity are appropriate. The 16-foot above-grade height positions fixtures for coverage across smaller fields or court areas.

With cross arms mounted, the pole supports multi-fixture configurations on each side. Operators balance fixture count and hardware weight to stay within the 240-pound limit per arm. This allows flexibility in how lighting is arranged across the cross arm span.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Preservative treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association standards.

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