Our 30 foot Class 3 CCA Treated Southern Yellow Pine Poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. They are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. 30 ft utility poles are treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards to prevent decay and damage from insects.
Cross arms are available for our Southern Yellow Pine poles as an optional accessory. Configuration and sizing are determined based on project requirements, as well as the height and class of the selected pole. We offer both 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms, our product specialists can help confirm the appropriate size for your application.
Delivery is made with a flatbed truck and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a forklift or appropriate similar vehicle to offload - customer supplied. 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
We supply 30 foot Class 3 CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine wood poles for direct burial installation. These poles are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and are designed for structural support of lighting and utility equipment in outdoor environments. Typical use includes sports field lighting and utility distribution where a 25 foot above-grade mounting height is required. Each pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States to meet current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
This pole is suitable for projects requiring a natural wood appearance, corrosion resistance, and high structural capacity. Cross arms are available as an accessory and can be sized for project requirements. The pole weight ranges from 770 to 920 lbs, with a minimum top circumference of 23 inches and a 7.3 inch minimum top outside diameter.
Core Performance and Output
This 30 foot Class 3 wood pole supports lighting and utility loads at a 25 foot mounting height above grade. The Class 3 rating provides a balance of strength and weight, supporting typical sports field and area lighting fixtures, as well as utility distribution hardware. The pole?s structural capacity is determined by its diameter, circumference, and wood species, with Southern Yellow Pine offering high strength-to-weight performance.
CCA treatment protects against decay and insect damage, extending service life in outdoor and damp environments. The pole?s direct burial design requires a 5 foot embedment depth for stability. Excessive wind loads or oversized fixtures may require higher class or larger diameter poles for compliance with local codes and wind zone requirements.
Adjustability and Control Options
This wood pole is a fixed structural element with no integrated adjustability. Fixture mounting height is set by the above-grade length of 25 feet. Cross arms and mounting hardware can be specified to accommodate different fixture types and aiming requirements.
Optional cross arms are available in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths. Hardware selection and configuration depend on the number and type of fixtures, as well as project-specific aiming or orientation needs. No integrated electrical control or wiring is included with the pole.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its strength and durability in outdoor structural applications. CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to rot, decay, and insect attack, supporting reliable performance in exposed environments. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards for dimensional and structural consistency.
Expected service life is dependent on soil conditions, installation quality, and ongoing maintenance. Direct burial installation requires proper backfill and compaction to maintain pole stability over time. Periodic inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage or environmental degradation.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is constructed from solid Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and milled to meet minimum circumference and diameter requirements. The CCA treatment process penetrates the wood to provide uniform protection. Each pole weighs between 770 and 920 lbs, with a 30 foot total length and a 5 foot burial depth.
Minimum top circumference is 23 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 32 inches. The pole is supplied without pre-drilled holes, allowing field drilling for mounting hardware as required. Cross arms and mounting hardware are available as optional accessories.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 30 foot Class 3 wood pole is suited for outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting of lighting or utility equipment. It is commonly used in sports field and recreational area lighting, as well as utility distribution and rural area lighting where wood poles are preferred for their natural appearance and corrosion resistance.
- sports field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- recreational field lighting
- area lighting
- utility distribution
- rural roadway lighting
CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine provides durability in wet, humid, or insect-prone environments. Direct burial installation is suitable for open fields, parks, and rural sites where concrete foundations are not required.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires a 5 foot embedment below grade, with the remaining 25 feet above grade for fixture mounting. Proper excavation, backfill, and compaction are critical for long-term stability. Field drilling is required for mounting hardware and cross arms.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for signs of decay, mechanical damage, or ground movement. CCA treatment reduces maintenance requirements, but periodic assessment of pole condition and hardware integrity is advised. Replacement or reinforcement may be needed if site conditions change or if heavier fixtures are added.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
30 foot Class 3 wood poles are typically installed for sports field and area lighting at mounting heights of 25 feet above grade. Fixture spacing and pole layout are determined by field size, lighting requirements, and wind load considerations. Poles are often spaced around the perimeter of fields or along roadways for uniform coverage.
Cross arms are selected based on the number and type of fixtures to be supported. Higher mounting heights reduce the number of poles required but may increase wind loading and structural demands. Fixture aiming and orientation are set during installation and can be adjusted with appropriate mounting hardware.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to American Wood Preservers Association requirements. CCA treatment provides resistance to decay and insects. The product carries a 1 year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects.
All handling and installation should follow applicable safety guidelines for heavy timber poles. Use appropriate lifting equipment and follow local codes for burial depth and backfill. Cross arms and mounting hardware must be properly sized and installed to maintain structural integrity.
