30 Foot Above Grade | 36 Foot Total Height Square Fiberglass Light Pole | 5 Inches Wide | Direct Burial
This 30-foot above grade fiberglass light pole is a strong choice for outdoor commercial and industrial sites requiring corrosion resistance, non-conductivity, and long-term durability. Its direct burial design streamlines installation by eliminating the need for anchor bolts or base plates, making it ideal for new construction or areas without concrete foundations. The pole’s resistance to rot, rust, and UV exposure suits coastal, humid, or chemically aggressive environments, while its ability to flex under wind load supports reliability in high-wind regions. It performs particularly well in parking lots, campuses, and perimeter lighting.

Product Overview
This is a 30-foot above grade square fiberglass light pole with a 5-inch width, designed for direct burial installation. The total pole height is 36 feet, with 30 feet remaining above grade after installation.
The pole is constructed from fiberglass and finished with a fluoropolymer coating. It is available in bronze, black, white, gray, or custom colors. The pole weighs 149 lbs and has a wall thickness of 0.25 inches.
A top cap is included. The pole is commercial grade certified and covered by a 7-year warranty.
Where This Product Fits Best
This fiberglass light pole is suited for outdoor commercial and industrial environments where corrosion resistance and long-term durability are required. It is commonly used in parking lots, perimeter lighting, campuses, and similar exterior applications.
The direct burial design eliminates the need for anchor bolts or base plates, making it appropriate for new construction or areas where concrete foundations are not preferred. The non-conductive properties of fiberglass are beneficial in locations where electrical isolation is a consideration.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole is rated for effective projected area (EPA) loads of 13 at 70 mph, 8 at 80 mph, 4.7 at 90 mph, and 2.4 at 100 mph. These ratings define the maximum allowable wind loading for fixtures and brackets mounted to the pole at the specified wind speeds.
The fluoropolymer finish provides resistance to weathering and UV exposure. The fiberglass construction does not rot, rust, or corrode, supporting long-term use in harsh environments.
The pole is designed to flex under wind load and return to its original shape, reducing the risk of structural failure. It does not sustain a flame and is non-conductive.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed using direct burial methods. The total length of 36 feet allows for 6 feet of embedment below grade, supporting stability without the need for a base plate or anchor bolts.
The lightweight design at 149 lbs simplifies handling and placement during installation. The included top cap protects the pole interior from moisture and debris.
The fluoropolymer coating and fiberglass material require minimal maintenance over time. The pole is designed to maintain structural integrity and appearance throughout its service life.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this fiberglass light pole is typically used to support area lighting fixtures in outdoor environments. The 30-foot mounting height allows for broad light distribution in parking lots, roadways, and large open areas.
The pole's non-conductive and corrosion-resistant properties are relied on in coastal, humid, or chemically aggressive locations. Facility teams do not need to address rust or corrosion concerns during routine inspections.
The pole's ability to flex under wind load and return to its original form reduces the likelihood of permanent deformation or breakage after severe weather events. The finish resists fading and chalking, maintaining appearance over time.
