Our 20 Foot Class 5 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 light and utility pole is a Class 5 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct-burial installation. It provides 16 feet of above-grade height with 4 feet installed below grade.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. Its 16-foot exposed height suits lower-height pole installations where the fixture load, mounting hardware, and site layout have been confirmed.
Core Performance and Output
This pole is rated as ANSI Class 5 and has a total installed weight of 400 to 500 pounds. Minimum pole-top dimensions are 19 inches in circumference and 6 inches outside diameter.
At 6 feet from the butt, the minimum circumference is 23 inches and the outside diameter is 7.3 inches. Fixture weight, fixture EPA, mounting hardware, and local wind requirements must be evaluated before installation because structural loading limits are not provided with the pole data.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-height direct-burial pole with no adjustment mechanism. Above-grade height is determined by the 4-foot burial depth.
No lighting controls, electrical components, or fixture mounting hardware are included in the supplied product information. Control selection depends on the lighting equipment installed on the pole.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine construction 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 specifications. Warranty coverage is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Southern Yellow Pine provides a wood-pole construction format for direct burial rather than base-plate mounting.
Total pole length is 20 feet. The exposed section is 16 feet above grade after installation, with 4 feet below grade.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits lower-height outdoor installations within the Wood Light and Utility Poles application family. Final suitability depends on the installed fixture load, mounting arrangement, and site conditions.
- sports field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- softball field lighting
- recreational field lighting
- parking lot lighting
- rural roadway lighting
CCA treatment supports outdoor direct-burial use. The supplied data does not establish fixture EPA limits, wind ratings, or attachment capacity.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Install this pole by direct burial with 4 feet below grade, leaving 16 feet above grade. Site preparation must account for the pole weight, which ranges from 400 to 500 pounds.
Confirm the pole condition, treatment condition, and mounting attachment points during routine site inspections. Any added fixture, bracket, or wiring equipment must be evaluated separately because those components are not included in the supplied data.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For sports field lighting, baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, and recreational field lighting, the 16-foot above-grade height places fixtures at a lower elevation than tall sports-lighting structures. Layout must account for the available mounting height and required light distribution.
For parking lot lighting and rural roadway lighting, poles are placed according to the site layout and the installed fixture distribution. Fixture output and optics affect spacing, so a higher-output fixture may reduce pole quantity while changing glare and uniformity.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. It is ANSI Class 5.
The pole uses CCA treatment. Warranty coverage is 1 year.
Frequently Asked Questions
