Our 30 foot Class 4 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
This 30 foot Class 4 wood pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA for long-term durability. Designed for direct burial installation, it provides a 25 foot mounting height above grade with a 5 foot embedment. The pole is built to ANSI O5.1 standards and meets the requirements for sports field and utility lighting support.
Typical use includes supporting floodlights or area lights for outdoor sports fields, stadiums, and municipal lighting projects. The Class 4 rating and 670-795 lb weight range make it suitable for medium-duty lighting applications where wood poles are preferred for cost, availability, or site-specific requirements.
Core Performance and Output
This pole supports mounting heights up to 25 feet above grade, providing adequate elevation for sports field and area lighting layouts. The Class 4 rating defines its minimum circumference and load-bearing capacity, supporting typical fixture and cross arm loads for baseball, softball, and multi-use recreational fields.
Structural performance is determined by pole class, wood species, and treatment. The 21 inch minimum top circumference and 29.5 inch circumference at 6 feet from the butt ensure compliance with ANSI O5.1. Wind load and EPA limits must be verified for each project, especially in open or high-wind environments. Excessive fixture weight or large cross arm assemblies may require higher class poles or additional engineering review.
Adjustability and Control Options
Cross arms are available as optional accessories in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths, allowing for multiple fixture mounting configurations. Cross arm sizing and placement are determined by project requirements and pole class. Fixture aiming and orientation are set during installation and can be adjusted as needed for field layout changes.
No integrated electrical controls or wiring are included with the pole. All fixture control, switching, and wiring must be specified and installed separately according to local codes and project needs.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine is CCA-treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards, providing resistance to decay, rot, and insect damage. Proper direct burial installation and backfill are required to maintain long-term structural integrity.
Expected service life depends on soil conditions, drainage, and exposure. Routine inspection for wood degradation, ground line decay, and fixture loading is recommended. The pole includes a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. It features a minimum 6.7 inch top outside diameter and 9.4 inch diameter at 6 feet from the butt. The total pole weight ranges from 670 to 795 lbs, depending on final dimensions and moisture content at shipment.
CCA treatment is pressure-applied for deep penetration and long-term protection. The pole is supplied bare, with cross arms and hardware available as optional accessories. All dimensions and tolerances comply with ANSI O5.1 for Class 4 wood utility poles.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 30 foot Class 4 wood pole is suitable for outdoor sports field lighting, municipal area lighting, and utility distribution where direct burial wood poles are standard practice. It is commonly used in environments where moderate mounting heights and medium fixture loads are required.
- baseball field lighting
- softball field lighting
- sports field lighting
- football field lighting
- recreational field lighting
- area lighting
- municipal lighting
- utility distribution
CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine provides resistance to decay and insects in most soil types. Not recommended for coastal or highly corrosive environments without additional protection. Direct burial installation requires proper backfill and compaction for stability.
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. Poles are typically set using auger or excavator equipment, with backfill and compaction to prevent settling. Cross arms and fixtures are mounted after the pole is set and stabilized.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for ground line decay, pole movement, and fixture loading. Replacement or reinforcement may be required if significant wood degradation is observed. All electrical work must comply with local codes and standards.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Poles are spaced according to field layout, fixture wattage, and required light levels. Typical mounting heights are 25 feet above grade, supporting 2?4 fixtures per pole depending on cross arm configuration. Spacing between poles varies based on field size and lighting uniformity requirements.
Higher fixture counts or heavier luminaires may require closer pole spacing or higher class poles. Using larger cross arms increases fixture mounting flexibility but may increase wind load and structural requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards. CCA treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association requirements. All dimensions and tolerances are compliant with Class 4 utility pole specifications.
Warranty is 1 year from the manufacturer. Follow all local safety regulations and installation guidelines for lifting, setting, and working at height. Inspect poles regularly for signs of decay or overloading.
