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.

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.

Performance and Functional Considerations
This Class 5 pole supports moderate loading requirements typical of single or double fixture mounting, small area lighting, or light utility distribution. The 20-foot length and 16 feet above grade allow for mounting heights compatible with sports field perimeters, parking areas, and rural roadways. Minimum top and butt dimensions ensure consistent strength and compatibility with standard hardware.CCA treatment extends service life by protecting against rot and insect attack. Southern Yellow Pine offers a balance of strength and workability for field modifications or hardware attachment. The pole?s weight and size are manageable with standard lifting equipment and installation practices.Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires a 4-foot embedment below grade, following standard pole setting procedures for stability and code compliance. The pole is compatible with common bracketry, crossarms, and luminaire mounting hardware. Field drilling and hardware attachment can be performed with standard tools.Long-term maintenance is minimal due to the CCA treatment, but periodic inspection for mechanical damage, ground line decay, or hardware corrosion is recommended. Replacement or relocation follows standard wood pole handling and disposal protocols. The product is intended for permanent outdoor use in non-coastal, non-marine environments.How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
This 20-foot wood pole is frequently specified for mounting sports field lighting at baseball and football fields, as well as general sports field illumination. It is also used for area lighting in parking lots, agricultural properties, and rural roadways. Municipalities and utilities deploy this pole for light-duty distribution and public area lighting where moderate mounting heights are required.In agricultural and recreational settings, the pole supports floodlights or area lights for safety and visibility.
