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.

The pole has a total length of 40 feet, with 34 feet above grade and 6 feet below grade once installed. Minimum pole top circumference is 25 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 38.5 inches. The pole top outside diameter is at least 8 inches, and the outside diameter 6 feet from the butt is 12.3 inches.
Pole weight ranges from 1430 to 1690 pounds. The cross-arm capacity is 240 pounds. Cross arms are available as an accessory in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths, with selection based on project requirements.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 40 foot Class 2 Southern Yellow Pine pole is suited for commercial and industrial outdoor lighting applications where a tall, durable mounting structure is required. Typical uses include parking lots, roadways, sports fields, and large area lighting projects.
The pole's direct burial design is intended for permanent installation in soil. The CCA treatment supports use in environments where wood is exposed to moisture and ground contact.
Facilities requiring ANSI Class 2 strength and a 34 foot mounting height above grade will find this pole appropriate for supporting LED lighting fixtures and cross arms within the specified load limits.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole is rated for a cross-arm capacity of 240 pounds. This supports mounting of multiple fixtures or accessories, provided total loading does not exceed this value.
CCA treatment protects the wood against rot and decay, supporting long-term outdoor use. The Southern Yellow Pine construction provides strength and resilience for demanding environments.
Direct burial installation requires a 6 foot embedment below grade. The pole's weight and dimensions should be considered for handling and installation planning.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation is by direct burial, with 6 feet of the pole set below grade. Proper backfill and compaction are required to ensure stability and longevity.
The pole's weight, ranging from 1430 to 1690 pounds, requires appropriate equipment for unloading, handling, and setting. Minimum top and butt diameters should be verified for compatibility with mounting hardware and accessories.
CCA treatment supports long-term resistance to rot and decay in ground contact. Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for physical damage or environmental wear over time.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once installed, this 40 foot wood pole provides a stable mounting point for LED lighting fixtures, cross arms, and related equipment. The 34 foot above-grade height allows for wide-area illumination and reduced shadowing in large outdoor spaces.
Operators can mount cross arms and fixtures within the 240 pound cross-arm capacity. The pole's treated wood construction requires minimal ongoing maintenance beyond periodic inspection for physical integrity and surface condition.
Direct burial installation means the pole remains fixed in place for the duration of its service life. Adjustments after installation are limited to fixture and accessory mounting at the pole top or along the shaft.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and is classified as Class 2. The wood is CCA treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards.
