40 Foot Wood Pole | Class 1 | Treated | Ponderosa Pine
This 40 foot Class 1 Ponderosa Pine pole is a strong choice for outdoor lighting or utility applications requiring a tall, durable mounting structure. Its CCA pressure treatment protects against decay, rot, and insects, making it well-suited for long-term use in exposed environments like parking lots, roadways, sports fields, and perimeter lighting. Direct burial installation eliminates the need for separate bases, which is practical where concrete or anchors are not feasible. The ANSI Class 1 rating ensures structural strength for mounting heavy or multiple fixtures.
