Our CCA Treated 20 Foot Wood Pole Class 6 Treated Ponderosa 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.
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 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 Class 6 wood pole is a direct-burial Ponderosa pine utility pole with 16 feet above grade and 4 feet below grade. It is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications.
The pole is used where a compact wood support structure is required for utility distribution, rural roadway lighting, agricultural property lighting, and selected sports field lighting layouts. Its 200 to 300 pound pole weight affects handling, equipment access, and installation planning.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is based on the ANSI Class 6 pole classification, 20 foot overall length, and direct-burial installation. The pole provides 16 feet of installed height above grade when buried to the specified 4 foot depth.
Minimum top circumference is 17 inches, with a minimum circumference of 23 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. The minimum top outside diameter is 5.4 inches, increasing to 7.32 inches 6 feet from the butt. Final loading and attached equipment requirements must remain consistent with the pole’s Class 6 structural classification.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-height direct-burial pole. It does not include integral lighting controls, electrical components, or adjustment mechanisms.
Installed height is determined by the 4 foot burial depth. Any equipment mounted to the pole requires separate mounting and electrical planning.
Longevity and Reliability
The Ponderosa pine construction is pressure treated with CCA preservative treatment. Treatment is intended to address termites, decay, and rot.
The poles are treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards. Long-term condition depends on proper direct-burial installation and ongoing inspection of the pole and mounted equipment.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. It uses Ponderosa pine and has a stated weight range of 200 to 300 pounds.
The tapered wood profile measures at least 5.4 inches outside diameter at the top and 7.32 inches outside diameter 6 feet from the butt. The pole is intended for direct burial rather than base mounting.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits installations that use direct-burial wood poles and require a 16 foot above-grade support height. It is applicable to utility and site lighting layouts within its Class 6 structural classification.
- utility distribution
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
- area lighting
- sports field lighting
- softball field lighting
CCA treatment supports use where exposure to decay, rot, and termites is a concern. Site conditions, soil conditions, attached equipment, and structural loading still require review before installation.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial requires 4 feet of the 20 foot pole below grade, leaving 16 feet above grade. The pole weight range requires appropriate handling equipment and controlled placement during installation.
Confirm pole condition, burial depth, alignment, and mounted equipment loading during installation. Periodic inspection should address visible damage, decay, hardware condition, and changes to attached equipment.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
In rural roadway lighting, agricultural property lighting, area lighting, and utility distribution layouts, the pole is installed with its specified 16 foot above-grade height. Placement follows the applicable distribution route or lighting layout.
For sports field lighting and softball field lighting, pole placement follows the field lighting layout and equipment loading requirements. Pole spacing and fixture placement vary with the project layout, target light levels, and mounted equipment.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. It is ANSI Class 6.
CCA preservative treatment is applied to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards. The warranty is 1 year.
