Our 40 foot Class 1 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 is a 40 foot Class 1 wood utility pole constructed from Southern Yellow Pine. The pole is CCA treated for rot and decay resistance. It is designed for direct burial installation with 34 feet above grade and 6 feet below grade.
The pole meets ANSI O5.1 specification and is manufactured from debarked, treated Southern Yellow Pine grown in the United States. Minimum pole top circumference is 27 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 41 inches. Pole weight ranges from 1640 to 1940 lbs.
This pole supports 2 to 4 cross arms, with a maximum of 240 lbs per arm. Cross arms are available as an accessory and are sized based on project requirements and pole class.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 40 foot wood pole is suited for electrical distribution and lighting applications where a durable, treated wood structure is required. It is commonly used in utility, roadway, and area lighting installations.
The direct burial design is intended for locations where in-ground installation is preferred or required. The Class 1 rating supports higher load requirements and is appropriate for sites needing multiple cross arms or heavier equipment mounting.
Southern Yellow Pine construction and CCA treatment make this pole suitable for outdoor environments where long-term exposure to weather and soil conditions is expected.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole provides 34 feet of height above grade after installation, allowing for elevated mounting of electrical lines, lighting fixtures, or other equipment. The 6 foot burial depth is required for stability and load support.
Class 1 rating and minimum circumference specifications ensure the pole can support up to 4 cross arms and a maximum of 240 lbs per arm. The CCA treatment protects the wood from rot and decay in typical soil and weather conditions.
Pole diameter at the top is a minimum of 8.6 inches, and 13 inches at 6 feet from the butt, supporting standard hardware and mounting brackets used in utility and lighting applications.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed using direct burial methods. A 6 foot section is placed below grade to provide structural stability and load transfer to the soil.
CCA treatment extends the service life of the pole by reducing susceptibility to rot and decay. Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for physical damage or environmental wear over time.
The pole's weight, ranging from 1640 to 1940 lbs, requires appropriate lifting and handling equipment during installation. Cross arms and other accessories are mounted according to project requirements and pole class.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this 40 foot wood pole is used to support overhead electrical lines, area lighting fixtures, or other utility equipment. The height above grade allows for clearances required in distribution and lighting layouts.
Cross arms can be mounted to the pole to support multiple circuits or lighting heads. The pole's load rating and circumference support standard hardware and bracketry used in utility and lighting applications.
Operators typically inspect the pole periodically for signs of wear, impact, or environmental exposure. The CCA treatment reduces maintenance needs related to rot or decay, but physical inspections remain important for long-term reliability.
