Our 40 foot Class 2 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 40-foot wood light and utility pole is a Class 2 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct-burial installations. It provides 34 feet above grade with a 6-foot buried depth.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. Its height and Class 2 construction support field and site lighting structures where a wood pole installation is appropriate.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is defined by the Class 2 rating, 40-foot total length, and direct-burial installation method. Pole weight ranges from 1,430 to 1,690 pounds.
The pole has a minimum top circumference of 25 inches and a minimum circumference of 38.5 inches at 6 feet from the butt. The pole top diameter is 8 inches minimum, with a 12.3-inch diameter at 6 feet from the butt.
Fixture weight, fixture EPA, cross-arm loading, and wind-load requirements must be confirmed for the planned structure. Specific EPA and wind-load values are not provided for this pole.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-height, direct-burial pole with no adjustable height or control components. The installed above-grade height is 34 feet.
Optional 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are available. Cross-arm configuration and sizing depend on project requirements and the selected pole height and class.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine construction is CCA treated for rot and decay prevention. Treatment is completed to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Wood poles require inspection of the pole surface, ground-line area, mounting hardware, and attached equipment during routine site maintenance. The warranty is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Southern Yellow Pine provides the wood construction for this Class 2 pole.
Total pole length is 40 feet, with 34 feet above grade and 6 feet below grade. The direct-burial design requires excavation and site conditions appropriate for the specified embedment depth.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits outdoor field, recreational, rural, agricultural, and site-lighting structures that use direct-burial wood poles. The 34-foot above-grade height supports installations requiring elevated fixture mounting positions.
- baseball field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- football field lighting
- driving range lighting
- recreational field lighting
- area lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
CCA treatment supports outdoor exposure and long-term wood-pole use. Final structural selection depends on fixture loading, cross-arm requirements, and site-specific wind conditions.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation uses direct burial with 6 feet of the pole below grade. The 34-foot above-grade dimension should be coordinated with the planned fixture position and required lighting layout.
Field handling must account for the 1,430- to 1,690-pound pole weight. Cross arms, fixtures, wiring, and associated mounting hardware must be coordinated before setting the pole.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
In baseball field lighting, soccer field lighting, football field lighting, driving range lighting, and recreational field lighting, the pole establishes a 34-foot above-grade mounting position. Layouts use pole locations around the planned lighting area rather than a single central placement.
For area lighting, rural roadway lighting, and agricultural property lighting, pole placement follows the required coverage path, equipment loading, and available direct-burial locations. Fixture output and aiming affect pole spacing, so the pole layout must be coordinated with the lighting design.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. CCA treatment is completed to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty is 1 year. Direct-burial installation, attached equipment, and cross-arm configuration must be evaluated for the specific project.
