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
These 40 ft wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields or used as utility poles. You can add 1-2 light arms per side, 2-4 in total, but no more than 2 per side. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs per arm. The number of arms and lights depends on the class of the utility pole you select. The pole length will determine how significant the taper is as with all timber utility poles.
Options Available:
Cross Arms (2-4 per pole, 1-2 per side) and Mounting Brackets. The customer is responsible for mounting Cross Arm after the poles are delivered. Poles do not ship with cross arms attached.
These are the lights we typically mount on the cross arms. Up to 6 lights per arm, not to exceed 240 total pounds of fixtures and hardware.
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-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 2 CCA treated Southern Yellow Pine pole. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards. The total height is 40 feet, with 34 feet above grade and 6 feet buried below grade for direct burial installation.
The pole weighs between 1430 and 1690 pounds. Minimum circumference at the pole top is 25 inches, and 38.5 inches at 6 feet from the butt. Minimum diameter at the pole top is 7.957 inches, and 12.255 inches at 6 feet from the butt.
This pole is designed for use with cross arms and mounting brackets. Cross arms are not attached at delivery and must be mounted on site.
The pole is suitable for supporting lighting fixtures and other equipment within the specified weight and arm limits.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 40 foot wood pole is commonly used in sports fields, baseball fields, and as a utility pole in commercial and industrial settings. The direct burial design supports outdoor installation where a tall, durable mounting structure is required.
It is suitable for applications requiring up to 2 cross arms per side, with a maximum of 4 cross arms per pole. Each cross arm can support up to 240 pounds of attached equipment, including lighting fixtures and hardware.
The CCA treatment and Southern Yellow Pine construction provide resistance to rot and decay, making the pole appropriate for long-term outdoor use.
Use cases include mounting area lighting, flood lights, or utility equipment where pole height and load capacity match project requirements.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole supports a maximum of 2 cross arms per side and 4 cross arms in total. Each cross arm can carry up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware. The number of lights per arm is determined by the combined weight, not to exceed the per-arm limit.
The pole's Class 2 rating defines its load-bearing capacity and suitability for supporting lighting and utility equipment within the stated limits. The taper of the pole is determined by its length, affecting mounting hardware selection and installation approach.
Minimum circumference and diameter measurements at the top and 6 feet from the butt are provided for compatibility with mounting brackets and cross arm hardware. The pole's weight and dimensions should be considered when planning equipment handling and installation logistics.
CCA treatment extends the service life of the pole in outdoor environments by reducing susceptibility to rot and decay.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed using direct burial, with 6 feet of the total length below grade. Proper burial depth is required for stability and load support. The installer is responsible for mounting cross arms and any additional hardware after delivery.
Cross arms and mounting brackets are available as options. The pole does not ship with cross arms attached. All mounting and attachment work must be completed on site according to project requirements and load limits.
Long-term durability is supported by the CCA treatment and the use of Southern Yellow Pine. Routine inspection of attachment points and hardware is recommended to maintain structural integrity over time.
Handling and installation require equipment capable of managing the pole's weight and length. Site access and ground conditions should be evaluated before installation.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this pole provides a stable mounting point for lighting fixtures, flood lights, or utility equipment. You can add up to 2 cross arms per side, with a total of 4 per pole, and each arm can support up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware.
In day-to-day operation, the pole is relied on for consistent support of mounted equipment. The CCA treatment helps maintain structural integrity in outdoor conditions, reducing maintenance needs related to rot or decay.
Fixture and hardware adjustments are made at the cross arms. The number and arrangement of lights depend on the weight limits per arm and the total number of arms installed. The pole's height and taper influence the reach and spread of mounted lighting.
Routine checks of mounting hardware and attachment points are recommended to ensure ongoing safety and performance.
