Our 35 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. Poles are treated with preservatives to the latest American Wood Preservers Association 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 Wood Pole is a Class 4, CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine utility pole designed for direct burial installation. It is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and meets the requirements for sports field and stadium lighting support. The pole is suitable for outdoor environments where elevated mounting heights and structural reliability are required for lighting or utility distribution. Typical use includes supporting floodlights or area lights at baseball, softball, soccer, and football fields, as well as other large recreational or municipal sites.
The pole provides a total length of 35 feet, with 29.5 feet above grade after installation. Cross arms are available as an accessory for mounting multiple fixtures or electrical equipment. The CCA treatment ensures long-term resistance to rot and decay, making it suitable for extended outdoor exposure in a range of climates.
Core Performance and Output
This Class 4 wood pole supports typical sports field and area lighting loads at mounting heights up to 29.5 feet above grade. The structural capacity is determined by the pole?s class, diameter, and wood species, with a minimum top circumference of 21 inches and a minimum 6-foot butt circumference of 31.5 inches. The pole is rated for direct burial and is designed to handle wind loads and fixture EPA (Effective Projected Area) values common to sports lighting and utility applications at this height.
Performance is suitable for mounting multiple floodlights or area lights, provided total fixture weight and EPA do not exceed the pole?s structural limits. Excessive fixture loading or mounting at exposed, high-wind sites may require higher class or larger diameter poles. For most sports field and recreational lighting layouts, this pole provides adequate support and stability.
Adjustability and Control Options
The pole itself is fixed in height and form factor. Adjustability is provided through the use of optional cross arms, which can be specified in 8-foot or 10-foot lengths to accommodate different fixture layouts or electrical equipment. Cross arm configuration is determined by project requirements and the number of fixtures to be mounted.
Control options such as photocells, relays, or smart controls are not integrated into the pole but can be installed as part of the lighting system or on the cross arms as needed. The pole supports standard hardware for bracket and fixture mounting.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its strength and durability in outdoor utility applications. The CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate) treatment provides long-term protection against rot, decay, and insect damage. Poles are manufactured and treated in accordance with American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Expected service life is dependent on soil conditions, installation quality, and environmental exposure. Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage or ground line decay over time. The pole includes a 1-year warranty from the manufacturer.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is constructed from Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and treated for outdoor use. It weighs between 865 and 1020 pounds, with a minimum top outside diameter of 6.7 inches and a 10-inch diameter 6 feet from the butt. The pole is designed for direct burial, with 5.5 feet below grade for stability.
All poles are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification, ensuring consistent dimensions and structural performance. The CCA treatment is applied to meet current industry standards for wood utility poles. Optional cross arms are available for multi-fixture or equipment mounting.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 35 foot Class 4 wood pole is intended for outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting heights for lighting or utility distribution. It is commonly used at sports fields, recreational areas, and municipal sites where direct burial installation is preferred and wood construction is acceptable.
- sports field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- recreational field lighting
- area lighting
- municipal lighting
- utility distribution
The pole is suitable for locations with moderate to high wind exposure and where treated wood is an accepted material. It is not recommended for coastal or highly corrosive environments without additional protection.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation is by direct burial, with 5.5 feet of the pole set below grade for stability. Standard practice includes tamping and backfilling to ensure proper compaction and alignment. The pole can be field drilled for hardware and cross arm attachment as required by the lighting or utility layout.
Routine inspection is advised to monitor for ground line decay, mechanical damage, or fixture overloading. Replacement or reinforcement may be required if significant deterioration is observed over time. The pole is compatible with standard sports lighting brackets, cross arms, and electrical hardware.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Typical mounting height is 29.5 feet above grade, supporting floodlights or area lights for sports fields and large recreational areas. Poles are spaced according to lighting design requirements, with fixture count and cross arm configuration determined by field size and light level targets.
Spacing and layout vary based on the number of poles, fixture wattage, and aiming requirements. Higher pole heights can reduce fixture count but may require larger or higher class poles for increased wind loading. Fixture mounting hardware and cross arms must be selected to match the pole?s structural capacity and project needs.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to American Wood Preservers Association specifications. CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and decay. The pole is suitable for direct burial installation in accordance with standard utility and sports lighting practices.
A 1-year manufacturer warranty is included. All safety and installation procedures should follow applicable codes and industry guidelines for wood utility poles and sports lighting structures.
