Our 35 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. Poles are treated with preservatives to the latest American Wood Preservers Association (AWPA) standards to ensure rot and decay prevention. The long term durability of a wood utility pole is one of its main benefits
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 standard flatbed truck depending on pole lengths and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a fork lift 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 time of delivery. Installation should be done by a trained professional.
Pricing: Does not include price 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.
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 35 foot Class 3 wood pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and pressure treated with CCA preservative. It is designed for direct burial installation in outdoor environments where structural support for lighting or utility distribution is required. Typical use includes sports field lighting and utility distribution for municipal or rural sites.
The pole meets ANSI O5.1 and AWPA standards for dimensional and treatment requirements. With a total length of 35 feet and a height above grade of 29.5 feet, it is suitable for mounting flood lights or area lights at heights commonly specified for baseball, softball, and multi-sport fields. Cross arms are available as an accessory for additional mounting flexibility.
Core Performance and Output
This Class 3 wood pole supports mounting heights up to 29.5 feet above grade, providing structural capacity for typical sports field and area lighting fixtures. The minimum pole top circumference is 23 inches, with a 7.3 inch top outside diameter, supporting standard tenon or bracket mounting. At 6 feet from the butt, the circumference is 34 inches, providing stability for direct burial installations.
Structural performance is determined by the Class 3 rating, which defines the pole?s load-bearing capacity for wind and fixture weight. The pole is suitable for supporting multiple flood lights or area lights, but total fixture EPA and weight must be verified against project wind load requirements. Excessive fixture loading or high wind zones may require higher class or larger diameter poles.
Adjustability and Control Options
Cross arms are available in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths for mounting multiple fixtures or utility hardware. The pole can accommodate a range of bracket and tenon configurations, depending on the lighting layout and field requirements. Fixture orientation and aiming are determined by the selected mounting hardware and cross arm configuration.
No integrated electrical control options are provided with the pole. Control systems, wiring, and fixture-level adjustability are determined by the lighting equipment specified for use with the pole.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine pole is pressure treated with CCA preservative to AWPA standards, providing resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage. Proper direct burial installation and backfill are required to achieve full service life. Typical lifespan is determined by soil conditions, installation quality, and exposure to moisture.
Routine inspection of the pole base and above-grade section is recommended to monitor for signs of decay or mechanical damage. The pole is covered by a 1-year warranty.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is constructed from solid Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and milled to ANSI O5.1 dimensional standards. Weight ranges from 985 to 1165 lbs depending on moisture content and final dimensions. The CCA treatment penetrates the wood to provide long-term protection in outdoor environments.
Direct burial installation requires a minimum 5.5 feet below grade. The pole?s outside diameter and circumference at both the top and 6 feet from the butt are specified for compatibility with standard mounting hardware and to ensure structural stability.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 35 foot Class 3 wood pole is suited for outdoor environments where elevated mounting of lighting or utility equipment is required. It is commonly used in sports field lighting, rural area lighting, and utility distribution where wood poles are preferred for cost, availability, or aesthetic reasons.
- baseball field lighting
- sports field lighting
- softball field lighting
- football field lighting
- recreational field lighting
- area lighting
- municipal lighting
- utility distribution
The CCA-treated wood construction is suitable for most soil types and climates. Not recommended for marine or highly corrosive environments without additional protection.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires excavation to a minimum depth of 5.5 feet, with proper tamping and backfill to ensure stability. The pole?s weight and length require equipment for handling and setting. Cross arms and mounting hardware are installed after the pole is set and plumbed.
Long-term use depends on soil drainage and periodic inspection for decay at the ground line. In areas with poor drainage or high moisture, additional protective measures may be required to extend service life. Routine maintenance includes checking for mechanical damage and verifying fixture attachment integrity.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Poles of this size are typically installed at the perimeter of sports fields or recreational areas, spaced to provide uniform lighting coverage. Mounting heights of 25 to 30 feet above grade are standard for baseball, softball, and multi-sport fields. Fixture spacing and aiming are determined by the lighting design and field layout.
Fixture count per pole varies based on field size and light level requirements. Higher mounting heights can reduce the number of poles needed but may require larger fixtures or higher wattage, increasing wind load. Cross arm selection is based on the number and type of fixtures to be supported.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to AWPA requirements. CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and decay. The pole is intended for direct burial installation and is suitable for use in outdoor environments where wood poles are standard practice.
Warranty coverage is 1 year. All installation and handling should follow applicable safety guidelines for utility pole setting and fixture mounting.
