40 Foot Wood Pole | Class 2 | Treated | Ponderosa Pine
This 40-foot Class 2 Ponderosa Pine utility pole is a strong choice for commercial and industrial projects requiring reliable support for overhead lines or area lighting, thanks to its ANSI O5.1 Class 2 structural rating and CCA treatment for resistance to decay and insects. The direct burial design with 34 feet above grade provides ample clearance for roadway lighting, utility distribution, or large-area lighting, while the specified diameters ensure compatibility with standard hardware and crossarms. It is best suited for outdoor environments where wood pole infrastructure is standard.

Our CCA Treated 40 Foot Wood Pole Class 2 Treated Ponderosa Pine Poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. They are manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Poles are pressure treated and preservative treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards to prevent damage from termites, decay and rot regardless of the species used.
Delivery is made with a flatbed truck and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a fork lift or appropriate similar vehicle to offload – customer supplied. Customers are responsible for any costs associated with delivery rescheduling because of improper scheduling or not having the proper offloading equipment or area to store poles available at the time of delivery. Please contact a sales representative prior to purchasing to ensure all the project details are clear.
Pricing: Does not include cost 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.
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 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 40 foot Class 2 wood utility pole is a CCA-treated Ponderosa Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 34 feet of height above grade with 6 feet installed below grade.
The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. It is used as a structural pole in baseball field lighting, football field lighting, soccer field lighting, and other sports field lighting layouts.
Core Performance and Output
This pole has a 40 foot total length, a 34 foot above-grade height, and a 6 foot buried depth. Pole weight ranges from 900 to 1080 pounds.
The minimum top circumference is 25 inches, with a minimum top outside diameter of 8 inches. The circumference at 6 feet from the butt is 42.5 inches, with a 13.5 inch outside diameter at that location.
No EPA rating, fixture weight limit, or fixture mounting capacity is provided for this pole. Final loading requirements must be evaluated against the installed fixture configuration and project conditions.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-length wood pole with no adjustable height feature. The above-grade height is established by the listed 6 foot direct burial depth.
The pole does not include lighting controls, electrical components, or fixture hardware. Control selection depends on the lighting equipment installed on the pole.
Longevity and Reliability
The Ponderosa Pine pole receives CCA pressure treatment and preservative treatment. The treatment is intended to protect the wood against termites, decay, and rot.
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Warranty coverage is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is constructed from Ponderosa Pine and classified as ANSI Class 2. Its tapered wood profile measures at least 8 inches outside diameter at the top and 13.5 inches outside diameter at 6 feet from the butt.
Weight can vary from 900 to 1080 pounds. Handling and installation planning should account for the pole length, weight, and direct burial configuration.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits outdoor lighting layouts that use direct-buried wood utility poles for field and site coverage. Its 34 foot above-grade height aligns with sports field lighting installations where elevated fixture placement is required.
- football field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- recreational field lighting
The CCA-treated wood construction is intended for buried installation. Fixture loading, wind exposure, and structural requirements must be confirmed for the specific application.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The listed installation method is direct burial. The pole uses 6 feet below grade and leaves 34 feet above grade.
Installation crews need to account for the 40 foot overall length and 900 to 1080 pound pole weight during handling. The installed depth and final loading arrangement affect long-term structural performance.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
This pole is commonly deployed in sports field lighting layouts where fixtures are positioned above the playing area or field perimeter. The 34 foot above-grade height establishes the fixture mounting elevation available from the pole itself.
Field layouts typically use multiple poles arranged around the lighting area to distribute illumination. Pole spacing and fixture aiming vary with the selected field lighting equipment and required light levels.
A taller fixture position can extend coverage across a larger area, but the final layout must account for fixture loading and the pole’s available structural capacity.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. It is ANSI Class 2.
The wood is CCA treated and preservative treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards. Warranty coverage is 1 year.
