Custom sizing is available only for large-quantity orders. Pole caps may be used in place of other mounting options when required.
Composite light poles are covered by a 15-year workmanship warranty, which warrants that the poles are free from manufacturing defects-including weld and structural integrity issues-at the time of shipment. Any pole found to be defective, upon examination, during normal use and service within 15 years from the date of shipment will be repaired or replaced at our discretion.

Product Overview
This is a 30-foot round tapered fiberglass pole with an 8.5-inch base diameter tapering to 5.3 inches at the tip. The pole weighs 112 pounds and uses an anchor base mounting system with a bolt circle of 11 to 12 inches.
The pole ships with an acrylic enamel finish and is available in bronze or custom colors. Anchor bolts are 1 inch by 36 inches with a 4-leg configuration and 6-inch thread, providing 4 inches of bolt projection above the foundation.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is rated for 5 EPA at 100 mph wind speed, which limits it to lower-profile fixture and arm configurations in high-wind regions. At reduced wind speeds, the EPA capacity increases to 6 EPA at 90 mph, 8 EPA at 80 mph, and 12 EPA at 70 mph.
The 30-foot height suits parking areas, pathways, and perimeter lighting applications where moderate mounting heights are required. Fiberglass construction makes this pole appropriate for coastal environments or locations where corrosion resistance is a factor.
Performance and Functional Considerations
Fiberglass poles do not corrode the way steel or aluminum poles can, which reduces long-term maintenance in salt air, chemical exposure, or high-humidity environments. The 112-pound weight is substantially lighter than steel equivalents, which can affect handling and rigging requirements during installation.
The tapered profile from 8.5 inches at the base to 5.3 inches at the tip provides a consistent aesthetic while distributing wind load across the pole length. EPA ratings must be matched against the combined effective projected area of all mounted fixtures, arms, and banners to confirm suitability for the site wind zone.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole uses an anchor base installation method. The bolt circle of 11 to 12 inches must be matched to the foundation template, with anchor bolts set at 4 inches of projection. Anchor bolts are 1 inch by 36 inches with a 4-leg configuration and 6-inch thread engagement.
The acrylic enamel finish provides a factory-applied protective coating. Custom color options are available for projects requiring specific color matching. The 15-year warranty covers the pole structure.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Installers typically confirm the bolt circle template dimensions before foundation work begins, since the 11 to 12 inch bolt circle must align precisely with the base plate. The 4-inch bolt projection allows for leveling nut adjustment during pole erection.
Once installed, the pole requires periodic inspection of the base connection and finish condition. Fiberglass does not require the same corrosion monitoring as metal poles, but the acrylic enamel finish should be checked for damage or UV degradation over time.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole carries a 15-year warranty. The EPA ratings provided are calculated at specific wind speeds: 5 EPA at 100 mph, 6 EPA at 90 mph, 8 EPA at 80 mph, and 12 EPA at 70 mph.
Fixture and arm combinations must not exceed the EPA rating for the applicable design wind speed at the installation site. Exceeding the rated EPA can result in structural failure under wind load conditions.
