30 Foot Wood Pole | Class 1 | Treated | Southern Yellow Pine

Product Overview

This 30-foot Class 1 wood pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate) to resist decay and insect damage. The pole is built to ANSI O5.1 specification and meets current American Wood Preservers Association treatment standards. Total pole weight ranges from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds.

The pole provides 25 feet of usable height above grade with a 5-foot direct burial depth. Minimum circumference at the top measures 27 inches (8.594-inch diameter), tapering to a minimum of 36.5 inches (11.618-inch diameter) at 6 feet from the butt. This Class 1 rating indicates a heavier, stronger pole within the ANSI classification system.

Cross arms and mounting brackets are available separately. Poles ship without cross arms attached. Cross arm installation is the responsibility of the end user or installer after delivery.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole height and load capacity align with outdoor lighting applications such as tennis courts, parking lots, and similar commercial or recreational areas. The 25-foot above-grade height places fixtures at an elevation suited to area lighting where moderate mounting heights are needed.

The CCA treatment makes this pole appropriate for direct burial installations in ground contact conditions. Southern Yellow Pine accepts preservative treatment effectively, which contributes to its use in outdoor utility and lighting applications where long-term ground contact is expected.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The Class 1 ANSI rating defines the pole''s structural capacity relative to load and environmental stress. This rating positions the pole for applications requiring greater strength than lighter ANSI classes while remaining within a 30-foot height profile.

The pole supports up to 4 cross arms total, with a maximum of 3 cross arms permitted on any single side. Each cross arm can carry up to 240 pounds of attached weight, including fixtures and mounting hardware. Fixture count per arm is limited by this weight threshold rather than a fixed number.

Dimensional minimums at the top and base provide reference points for hardware compatibility. Installers should confirm cross arm and bracket sizing against the stated minimum circumference and diameter values.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole is designed for direct burial installation at a 5-foot depth. No concrete base or anchor cage is required under standard conditions, though soil type and local code requirements may affect installation methods. Equipment capable of handling 1,000 to 1,200 pounds is necessary for transport and placement.

Cross arms must be installed after delivery. The pole ships without cross arms attached. Mounting brackets and cross arms are available as separate components. Field installation allows positioning cross arms at heights suited to the specific application and fixture layout.

CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine is established in utility and lighting pole applications for its resistance to biological degradation in ground contact. Routine inspection of above-grade surfaces and hardware connections supports long-term structural performance.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Facilities typically use this pole to support area lighting in spaces where a 25-foot mounting height provides adequate coverage without requiring taller steel or concrete structures. Tennis courts and retail parking lots are common examples where this pole height and cross arm capacity are well matched to the lighting layout.

The 4-cross-arm maximum with up to 240 pounds per arm allows installers to configure multi-fixture arrangements. Fixture selection and quantity per arm depend on individual fixture weight and the combined weight of mounting hardware. Installers calculate total attached weight to remain within the stated limit.

Wood poles in this class are often selected where a traditional appearance is acceptable or preferred, or where direct burial without a concrete foundation simplifies the installation scope.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
