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 6 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 height above grade with a 5 foot embedment. This pole is built to ANSI O5.1 standards and is suitable for supporting lighting and utility loads in outdoor sports and area lighting environments. Typical use includes sports field lighting and utility distribution where wood poles are preferred for their non-conductive properties and cost-effective installation.
Cross arms in 8 foot and 10 foot lengths are available as optional accessories, allowing for flexible fixture mounting configurations. The pole is grown, processed, and treated in the United States, meeting American Wood Preservers Association standards for decay and insect resistance.
Core Performance and Output
This Class 6 wood pole supports moderate lighting and utility loads, with a minimum top circumference of 17 inches and a 5.4 inch minimum top outside diameter. The pole?s structural capacity is suitable for mounting multiple sports field floodlights, area lights, or utility hardware, provided total weight and wind load (EPA) remain within Class 6 limits. The 30 foot length allows for 25 feet of mounting height above grade, which is typical for small to mid-sized sports fields and area lighting layouts.
Direct burial installation provides stable support in most soil conditions. Excessive fixture weight or large sail area (EPA) may require a higher class pole or additional engineering review. Performance is dependent on soil quality and proper embedment depth.
Adjustability and Control Options
The pole itself does not include integrated adjustability or control features. Fixture aiming and orientation are determined by the mounting hardware and cross arm configuration selected for the project. Optional cross arms in 8 foot and 10 foot lengths provide flexibility for fixture spacing and aiming angles.
Lighting controls, wiring, and other accessories are field-installed and must be specified separately based on the requirements of the lighting system or utility application.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine is pressure treated with CCA to resist decay, rot, and insect damage. This treatment extends service life in outdoor environments, including sports fields and rural sites. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 and American Wood Preservers Association standards for structural and preservative quality.
Long-term reliability depends on proper installation, soil drainage, and avoidance of mechanical damage. Periodic inspection is recommended to monitor for surface checking, decay at grade, or hardware loosening over time.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole weighs between 510 and 605 pounds, with a minimum circumference of 25 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. The wood is debarked, shaped, and treated in the United States. The direct burial design requires a 5 foot embedment below grade for stability.
Optional cross arms are available for fixture mounting. The pole?s natural wood finish is typical for sports field and rural utility installations. All dimensions and tolerances meet ANSI O5.1 requirements for Class 6 wood poles.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 30 foot Class 6 wood pole is suited for outdoor environments where moderate mounting height and structural capacity are required. It is commonly used in sports field lighting, area lighting, and utility distribution on athletic, recreational, and rural sites.
- sports field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- softball field lighting
- utility distribution
- area lighting

The CCA treatment and direct burial design allow for installation in a range of climates and soil types. The pole is not recommended for locations with persistent standing water or highly corrosive soils without additional site preparation.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation requires excavation for a 5 foot embedment and backfilling with compacted soil or approved material. The pole?s weight and length typically require equipment for handling and placement. Cross arms and hardware are field-installed based on fixture layout and project requirements.
Routine inspection is recommended to check for surface cracks, decay at grade, and hardware condition. Service life is maximized with proper drainage and avoidance of mechanical impact. Replacement or reinforcement may be needed if site conditions change or loading increases over time.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Poles of this size are typically installed at 25 feet above grade for sports field and area lighting. Fixture mounting patterns depend on the number and type of lights, with cross arms used to space and aim fixtures as needed. Spacing between poles is determined by field size, light level requirements, and fixture beam spread.
Higher mounting heights reduce glare and improve uniformity but may require higher output fixtures or closer pole spacing. Fixture count and layout should be confirmed based on site photometrics and wind load calculations.
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 includes a 1 year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects.
All handling and installation should follow applicable safety guidelines for wood poles, including use of personal protective equipment and proper lifting methods. Consult local codes for grounding and clearance requirements.
