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 30 foot Class 1 wood pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA for long-term durability. Designed for direct burial, it is suitable for utility and sports field installations where a robust, natural material is required. The pole meets ANSI O5.1 standards and is produced to meet the demands of outdoor lighting and utility distribution projects.
Typical installations include sports field lighting and utility distribution in municipal, rural, and recreational environments. The 30 ft height and Class 1 rating support mounting of area and sports lighting fixtures, as well as cross arms for utility lines or field lighting arrays.
Core Performance and Output
This pole provides a total height of 30 feet, with 25 feet above grade after direct burial installation. The Class 1 rating supports higher loading and wind resistance compared to lighter classes, making it suitable for mounting multiple fixtures or cross arms. Minimum pole top circumference is 27 inches, with a 36.5 inch circumference measured 6 feet from the butt, providing substantial structural capacity.
Southern Yellow Pine offers high strength-to-weight ratio and resilience under wind load. The pole supports typical sports lighting and utility distribution loads within its class. Excessive fixture weight or large sail area (EPA) attachments may require engineering review to confirm suitability for specific projects.
Adjustability and Control Options
The pole itself is a fixed structural element with no integrated adjustability. Fixture mounting height is determined by the pole?s above-grade height and the use of cross arms or brackets. Cross arms are available as optional accessories in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths, allowing for project-specific configuration of lighting or utility hardware.
Control options are determined by the fixtures or utility equipment mounted to the pole, not by the pole itself. The pole accommodates standard hardware for lighting, distribution, and field applications.
Longevity and Reliability
CCA treatment protects the Southern Yellow Pine against decay, insect damage, and environmental exposure. The pole is manufactured to American Wood Preservers Association standards for outdoor structural use. Proper direct burial installation and backfill are required to maintain long-term performance.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage or ground line deterioration over time. The pole is covered by a 1-year warranty from the manufacturer.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is constructed from solid Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and treated in the United States. It weighs between 1000 and 1200 lbs, with a minimum top outside diameter of 8.6 inches and 11.6 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. The CCA treatment is pressure-applied for deep penetration and long-term protection.
All dimensions and tolerances comply with ANSI O5.1 requirements for Class 1 wood poles. The pole is supplied ready for direct burial installation. Cross arms and mounting hardware are available as project-specific accessories.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 30 foot Class 1 wood pole is suited for outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting of lighting or utility equipment. It is commonly used in sports field lighting, utility distribution, and municipal area lighting where natural wood construction and high load capacity are required.
- sports field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- utility distribution
- municipal lighting
- area lighting
- parking lot lighting
- rural roadway lighting
The pole is designed for direct burial in soil and is suitable for both new installations and replacement of existing wood poles. It is not intended for use in marine or corrosive coastal environments without additional protection.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation requires excavation for direct burial, with a minimum of 5 feet below grade. Proper tamping and backfill are critical for stability and long-term performance. The pole?s weight and length require equipment for handling and placement.
Cross arms and hardware must be selected based on the intended application and load requirements. Routine inspection of the pole, especially at the ground line, is recommended to ensure continued structural integrity. CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to decay and insects, but mechanical damage or improper installation can reduce service life.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Poles of this size and class are typically installed at 25 feet above grade, supporting lighting fixtures or utility hardware for sports fields, parking lots, or distribution lines. Fixture mounting patterns depend on the number and type of luminaires or cross arms required for the application.
Spacing between poles is determined by lighting layout, field size, and utility distribution requirements. Higher mounting heights allow for broader light coverage but may require increased fixture wattage or specialized optics. Increasing the number of fixtures per pole can reduce the total pole count but may require engineering review for wind load and structural limits.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to American Wood Preservers Association specifications. CCA treatment provides protection against decay and insect attack. The pole is supplied with a 1-year manufacturer?s warranty.
All handling and installation must comply with applicable safety regulations and best practices for wood utility poles. Use of proper lifting equipment and personal protective equipment is required during installation.
