Our 35 foot Class 6 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 Class 6 wood pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA preservative. It is designed for direct burial installation in outdoor environments where structural support for lighting or utility distribution is required. The pole meets ANSI O5.1 standards and is suitable for use in sports field lighting, rural area lighting, and utility distribution projects.
With a total length of 35 feet and a height above grade of 29.5 feet after burial, this pole is commonly specified for mounting flood lights or area lights at heights appropriate for baseball, softball, and multi-sport fields. The Class 6 rating and minimum top and butt dimensions ensure compliance with standard loading and wind requirements for this pole class.
Core Performance and Output
This pole supports typical lighting and utility loads for its class, with a weight range of 635 to 750 lbs and minimum top circumference of 14 inches. The structural capacity is suitable for mounting multiple sports lighting fixtures or area lights, provided total EPA and weight do not exceed pole class limits. The CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to rot and decay in direct burial applications.
Wind load performance and fixture support capability are determined by pole class, mounting height, and local code requirements. Excessive fixture weight or EPA at the top of the pole can reduce structural safety margins. For high wind zones or large fixture arrays, verify loading calculations before installation.
Adjustability and Control Options
This wood pole does not include integrated adjustability or control features. Fixture mounting, aiming, and accessory installation are determined by the selected cross arms, brackets, and hardware. Cross arms are available in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths to accommodate different fixture layouts and aiming requirements.
Control systems such as photocells, relays, or wireless controls must be specified and installed separately. The pole provides a structural mounting point for these systems but does not include integrated wiring or control enclosures.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine poles treated with CCA are known for long service life in outdoor environments. The preservative treatment meets current AWPA standards for rot and decay prevention. Proper direct burial installation and backfill are required to maintain long-term reliability.
Wood poles are subject to natural variation and may require periodic inspection for checking, splitting, or insect activity over time. The 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects but does not extend to damage from improper installation or environmental factors.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is manufactured in the United States from debarked Southern Yellow Pine. It features a minimum top outside diameter of 4.5 inches and a minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt of 27 inches. The CCA treatment is applied to meet current standards for utility poles in direct burial applications.
Each pole is supplied as a single piece, with no splices or joints. The natural wood finish is typical for utility and sports lighting installations. Cross arms and mounting hardware are available as optional accessories and are sized based on project requirements.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 35 foot Class 6 wood pole is suited for outdoor environments where elevated mounting heights and structural support for lighting or utility distribution are required. It is commonly used in:
- baseball field lighting
- sports field lighting
- softball field lighting
- utility distribution
- area lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- municipal lighting
- agricultural property lighting
The CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine construction provides durability in wet, humid, or variable outdoor conditions. Direct burial installation is standard for this pole type.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires a minimum depth of 5.5 feet below grade, with the remaining 29.5 feet above grade for fixture mounting. Standard practice includes tamped backfill and proper compaction to ensure pole stability. Cross arms and mounting hardware must be selected based on fixture type, quantity, and aiming requirements.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for wood checking, insect activity, or mechanical damage. Over time, environmental exposure may cause surface weathering, but structural integrity is maintained with proper treatment and installation. Replacement or reinforcement may be required if pole loading or site conditions change.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Typical mounting heights for fixtures on this pole are 25 to 30 feet above grade, depending on the lighting design and field layout. Poles are spaced based on field size, light level requirements, and fixture beam distribution. For sports field lighting, poles are often installed at field corners or along sidelines to provide uniform coverage.
Fixture count and spacing are determined by the desired light levels and uniformity. Higher mounting heights can reduce glare and improve coverage but may require higher wattage fixtures. Cross arm selection and aiming hardware are specified to match the lighting layout and field geometry.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to current AWPA requirements. The CCA treatment provides resistance to rot, decay, and insect activity in direct burial applications. The product carries a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects.
All installation and loading must comply with local codes and engineering requirements. Structural safety is dependent on correct installation depth, backfill compaction, and adherence to pole class loading limits. Periodic inspection is recommended for continued safe operation.
