25 Foot Wood Pole | Class 5 | Treated | Ponderosa Pine

Product Overview

This 25 Foot Wood Pole, Class 5, is manufactured from Ponderosa Pine and pressure treated with CCA preservative. It meets ANSI 5.1 specifications and conforms to AWPA standards for preservative treatment. The pole is designed for direct burial installation, with a total length of 25 feet and a buried depth of 4.5 feet, resulting in 20.5 feet above grade. Typical weight ranges from 280 to 330 lbs. Minimum top circumference is 19 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 28 inches. This pole is suitable for outdoor use in environments where wood utility and lighting poles are standard practice.

All poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. The CCA treatment provides resistance to termites, decay, and rot. The pole is intended for structural support of lighting, utility distribution, and related field installations where wood poles are specified.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is intended for outdoor environments requiring structural support for lighting or utility distribution. It is commonly installed in sports fields, rural roadways, agricultural properties, and municipal sites. The 25-foot height and Class 5 rating are suitable for medium-scale field lighting and utility runs where wood construction is preferred or required.

• baseball field lighting
• sports field lighting
• municipal lighting
• utility distribution
• area lighting
• parking lot lighting
• agricultural property lighting
• rural roadway lighting

Environmental characteristics include direct burial installation, outdoor exposure, and suitability for locations where treated wood is required for durability against insects and decay. The pole is not intended for coastal or marine environments where additional corrosion resistance is needed.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The Class 5 rating and 25-foot length provide adequate support for moderate lighting loads and utility lines. The CCA treatment extends service life in typical outdoor conditions, reducing maintenance related to rot or insect damage. The pole?s dimensions and weight are compatible with standard field handling and installation equipment.

Minimum top and butt circumferences ensure compatibility with common mounting hardware for luminaires, crossarms, and brackets. The direct burial design eliminates the need for anchor base foundations. The pole is not designed for high-wind coastal zones or heavy industrial yard applications requiring steel or fiberglass construction.

Performance is consistent with ANSI and AWPA standards for wood utility poles. The pole is suitable for installations where wood is specified for aesthetic, cost, or regulatory reasons. It is not intended for environments with high corrosive exposure or where non-wood materials are mandated.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Direct burial installation requires excavation to a depth of 4.5 feet, with proper backfill and compaction for stability. Standard pole setting and alignment practices apply. The pole?s weight allows for handling with typical field equipment, but mechanical assistance is recommended for safety and efficiency.

Long-term use is supported by the CCA preservative treatment, which protects against decay and insect activity. Periodic inspection for mechanical damage, ground line decay, and hardware integrity is recommended. The pole is compatible with standard wood pole accessories, including brackets, arms, and climbing hardware.

Maintenance requirements are typical for treated wood poles. Surface checking and weathering are normal and do not affect structural integrity. Replacement cycles depend on site conditions and loading but are generally in line with industry expectations for treated wood utility poles.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This 25-foot Class 5 wood pole is commonly used to support field lighting for baseball and sports fields, as well as area and parking lot lighting in municipal and rural settings. It is also specified for utility distribution runs in agricultural and low-density residential areas where wood poles are standard practice.

In agricultural properties, the pole is used for yard lighting and utility lines. Municipalities use this pole for street and area lighting in parks, recreational fields, and public spaces. Utility providers deploy this pole for distribution circuits in rural and suburban environments.

Installers typically mount floodlights, shoebox fixtures, or utility crossarms directly to the pole using standard hardware. The pole?s dimensions accommodate a range of luminaire sizes and mounting configurations.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This pole is manufactured to ANSI 5.1 specification and treated to AWPA preservative standards. The CCA treatment provides resistance to termites, decay, and rot. All poles are produced in the United States and meet industry requirements for structural wood utility poles.

The product includes a 1-year warranty. Safety during installation requires adherence to standard pole setting procedures, use of appropriate PPE, and compliance with local codes. The pole is not rated for marine or high-corrosive environments.

Certifications: ANSI 5.1, AWPA preservative standards.
