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 forklift 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 wood light and utility pole is a Class 2, CCA-treated Ponderosa pine pole for direct-burial installations. It provides 34 feet of above-grade height with 6 feet installed below grade.
The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. It is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States.
Core Performance and Output
This pole has a total length of 40 feet and a direct-burial depth of 6 feet. The installed above-grade height is 34 feet.
Minimum pole-top circumference is 25 inches, with a minimum pole-top outside diameter of 8 inches. At 6 feet from the butt, minimum circumference is 42.5 inches and outside diameter is 13.5 inches.
Pole weight ranges from 900 to 1,080 pounds. Structural loading, fixture loading, and site wind requirements must be evaluated for the planned installation.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-length wood pole with no adjustable-height configuration. Final installed height is established by the 6 foot direct-burial depth.
No control, electrical, or lighting equipment is included with the pole. Fixture mounting and electrical system details must be determined for the installation.
Longevity and Reliability
The Ponderosa pine pole is pressure treated with CCA preservative treatment. The treatment is intended to prevent damage from termites, decay, and rot.
The pole is treated to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards. Warranty coverage is one year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is constructed from Ponderosa pine and has an ANSI Class 2 classification. Its natural tapered profile measures a minimum 8 inch outside diameter at the top and 13.5 inches outside diameter at 6 feet from the butt.
Direct burial is the specified installation method. Handling plans should account for the 900 to 1,080 pound pole weight.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits direct-burial sports lighting and utility distribution installations requiring 34 feet of above-grade pole height. It is also used for outdoor sites where wood pole construction is appropriate.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- driving range lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment supports outdoor exposure by addressing termites, decay, and rot. Site-specific structural and electrical requirements remain part of the installation design.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole is installed by direct burial with 6 feet below grade, leaving 34 feet above grade. Excavation, lifting equipment, and setting procedures must account for the pole weight and overall length.
Long-term condition should be checked as part of normal site maintenance. Inspection should include the exposed pole condition and the area at the ground line.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, football field lighting, soccer field lighting, and driving range lighting, the 34 foot above-grade height establishes the available fixture elevation. Pole positions follow the planned lighting layout and field geometry.
For rural roadway lighting and utility distribution, the pole is direct buried along the required route or layout. Final spacing depends on the project layout, fixture arrangement, and utility requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. It has an ANSI Class 2 classification.
The pole carries a one-year warranty. Installation must account for the specified direct-burial depth, pole weight, and project structural requirements.
