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 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 utility pole is a Class 5 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial light pole and utility pole installations. It provides 16 feet of height above grade with a 4 foot buried section.
The pole is CCA treated and built to ANSI O5.1 specification. Its 400 to 500 pound weight requires suitable handling equipment and a planned installation approach.
Core Performance and Output
This pole provides structural support rather than light output. The 20 foot overall length establishes a 16 foot above-grade installation height when buried to the specified 4 foot depth.
The Class 5 construction, minimum 19 inch top circumference, and minimum 23 inch circumference at 6 feet from the butt define the pole profile. The minimum top outside diameter is 6 inches, and the outside diameter at 6 feet from the butt is 7.3 inches.
No EPA rating, wind-load rating, fixture weight limit, or fixture EPA limit is supplied for this pole. Fixture support requirements must be confirmed against the completed pole and lighting design.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-length wood pole with no integrated adjustment or control components. The above-grade height is determined by the direct burial depth.
Lighting controls, electrical equipment, and fixture mounting hardware are not included in the supplied product data. Their selection must match the installed pole configuration and project requirements.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine pole is CCA treated to help protect the wood from termites, decay, and rot. The pole is pressure treated and preservative treated.
The supplied warranty is 1 year. Long-term condition depends on proper direct burial installation and ongoing inspection of the exposed pole and groundline area.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is manufactured from debarked Southern Yellow Pine grown in the United States. It is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification.
The pole weighs 400 to 500 pounds. Its 20 foot total length and tapered wood profile affect transport, lifting, placement, and fixture installation procedures.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits direct burial installations supporting field lighting and utility distribution where a 16 foot above-grade pole height matches the site layout. Its wood construction and CCA treatment suit outdoor installations within the stated application range.
- baseball field lighting
- softball field lighting
- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- recreational field lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
- utility distribution
Final suitability depends on the required fixture load, wind exposure, electrical equipment, and burial conditions. The supplied data does not establish fixture weight capacity or wind-load performance.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole installs by direct burial with 4 feet below grade and 16 feet remaining above grade. Confirm the installation location, excavation requirements, and handling plan before setting a 400 to 500 pound pole.
The pole should be inspected after installation for visible damage, groundline condition, and changes in alignment. Any fixture, bracket, or electrical attachment must be evaluated against the pole configuration because support limits are not supplied.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, sports field lighting, and recreational field lighting, the pole establishes a 16 foot above-grade support point after direct burial. Pole placement follows the required lighting layout and field arrangement.
For rural roadway lighting, agricultural property lighting, and utility distribution, direct burial positioning follows the site routing and support layout. Layout spacing varies with the fixture design, target light levels, utility requirements, and pole support demands.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. The supplied warranty is 1 year.
CCA treatment is included. Use appropriate equipment and safe handling practices for the pole’s 400 to 500 pound weight during unloading, positioning, and installation.
