Our 25 foot Class 3 CCA Treated Southern Yellow Pine Poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. They are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. 25 ft utility poles are treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards to prevent decay and damage from insects.
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. Customer is responsible for any costs associated with delivery rescheduling because of improper scheduling or not having the proper offloading equipment available at the time of delivery.
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 to your delivery location.
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 25 foot Class 3 wood pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA for long-term durability. It is designed for use in light pole and utility pole installations where direct burial is required. The pole meets ANSI O5.1 standards and is suitable for supporting area lighting, sports field lighting, and utility distribution in outdoor environments. Typical installations include municipal sites, rural roadways, and athletic fields where wood poles are preferred for their non-conductive properties and ease of handling.
With a total length of 25 feet and a weight range of 580 to 690 pounds, this pole provides a practical solution for mounting luminaires or utility lines at heights up to 20.5 feet above grade. The CCA treatment protects against decay and insect damage, supporting reliable performance in exposed locations.
Core Performance and Output
This Class 3 wood pole is engineered for structural support in lighting and utility applications. It provides a minimum pole top circumference of 23 inches and a minimum circumference of 29.5 inches at 6 feet from the butt, with corresponding diameters of 7.3 inches and 9.4 inches. The pole is rated for direct burial with a 4.5 foot embedment depth, ensuring stability under wind and load conditions typical for its class and height.
Structural capacity is suitable for mounting area lights, sports field fixtures, or utility lines within the weight and EPA limits of a 25 foot Class 3 pole. Excessive fixture weight or high wind load applications may require a higher class or larger diameter pole. Performance is dependent on soil conditions and proper burial depth.
Adjustability and Control Options
This wood pole does not include integrated adjustability or control features. Fixture mounting and orientation are determined by the hardware and brackets selected for the specific application. The pole can accommodate a range of mounting arms, crossarms, or utility hardware as required by the installation.
Control systems, such as photocells or wireless controls, are supported at the fixture level and are not integrated into the pole itself. All adjustments must be made during installation or through accessory hardware.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine construction is treated with CCA to resist decay, rot, and insect attack. This treatment extends the service life of the pole in outdoor environments, including areas with high moisture or insect activity. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards for dimensional and performance consistency.
Long-term reliability is influenced by site conditions, installation quality, and ongoing maintenance. Direct ground contact is supported by the CCA treatment, but periodic inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage or environmental wear.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is produced from solid Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and treated in the United States. It features a uniform taper and meets minimum circumference and diameter requirements for Class 3 poles. The CCA treatment is applied to meet current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The pole is designed for direct burial installation, with a 4.5 foot embedment below grade and 20.5 feet above grade. Weight varies from 580 to 690 pounds, depending on wood density and moisture content at the time of manufacture.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 25 foot Class 3 wood pole is suited for outdoor environments where moderate mounting heights and non-conductive support are required. It is commonly used in sports field lighting, rural area lighting, and utility distribution where wood poles are preferred for their handling and installation characteristics.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- utility distribution
- municipal lighting
- area lighting
- parking lot lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
The CCA treatment and solid wood construction support use in exposed, humid, or insect-prone locations. The pole is not intended for coastal or marine environments where saltwater exposure is present.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires excavation to a depth of 4.5 feet, with backfill and compaction to ensure stability. The pole?s weight allows for handling with standard lifting equipment. Mounting hardware and luminaires must be selected to remain within the structural limits of a Class 3 pole at 25 feet.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for signs of decay, mechanical damage, or ground movement. The CCA treatment provides long-term protection, but physical impacts or improper installation can reduce service life. Replacement or reinforcement may be required if pole integrity is compromised over time.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Typical mounting heights place the luminaire or utility hardware at 20.5 feet above grade. Spacing between poles is determined by the lighting layout, fixture wattage, and required light levels for the application. For sports field or area lighting, poles are often spaced to balance uniformity and minimize shadowing.
Fixture count and pole placement may be reduced by using higher output luminaires, but this can increase glare or require larger poles for higher wind loads. Layouts should account for site-specific wind exposure and soil conditions to ensure long-term stability.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to American Wood Preservers Association requirements. The CCA treatment supports safe use in direct ground contact and resists biological degradation. The product includes a 1 year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
All installations must comply with local codes and standards for utility and lighting pole installations. Proper handling and lifting procedures are required due to the pole?s weight and length.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: The maximum mounting height above grade is 20.5 feet, with 4.5 feet buried below grade.
Q: What is the typical weight range for this 25 foot Class 3 wood pole?
A: The pole weight ranges from 580 to 690 pounds, depending on wood density and moisture content.
Q: What type of treatment is used for decay and insect resistance?
A: The pole is treated with CCA (chromated copper arsenate) to protect against decay and insect damage.
Q: What hardware is required for mounting luminaires or crossarms?
A: Mounting hardware must be selected based on fixture type and application. The pole supports standard brackets, arms, and utility hardware compatible with wood poles.
Q: How should pole spacing be determined for area or sports field lighting?
A: Spacing depends on fixture output, lighting requirements, and site layout. Higher output fixtures may allow wider spacing but can increase wind load and glare.
