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 wood utility pole made from Southern Yellow Pine, treated with CCA preservative. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and meets American Wood Preservers Association treatment standards for rot and decay prevention. Total pole weight ranges from 1,430 to 1,690 pounds.
The pole is designed for direct burial installation with 6 feet set below grade, leaving 34 feet of usable height above ground. Minimum circumference at the top measures 25 inches (7.957-inch diameter), tapering to a minimum of 38.5 inches (12.255-inch diameter) at the 6-foot mark from the butt end.
Cross arm capacity allows for 2 to 4 total cross arms, with a maximum of 2 cross arms per side. Each cross arm supports up to 240 pounds of attached weight. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available separately and must be installed after delivery.
Where This Product Fits Best
This Class 2 pole is sized for sports field lighting, baseball field installations, and general utility applications where a 34-foot above-grade mounting height is appropriate. The cross arm configuration supports multiple fixture mounting points on each side of the pole.
Direct burial installation is the intended mounting method. Site conditions must accommodate the 6-foot burial depth and support the pole weight during installation. The CCA treatment provides protection against rot and decay for outdoor exposure in ground contact.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The 240-pound per-arm weight limit determines how many fixtures and brackets can be mounted on each cross arm. This limit applies to the combined weight of all fixtures, hardware, and the cross arm itself. Up to 6 fixtures can be mounted per arm when the total installed weight stays within the 240-pound limit.
The natural taper from butt to top is characteristic of timber utility poles. This taper affects how hardware fits at different heights along the pole. The Class 2 designation defines the structural capacity and circumference specifications at the standardized measurement points.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Poles ship without cross arms attached. Cross arm installation is the responsibility of the installer after the pole is delivered and set. Mounting brackets and cross arms must be installed on-site.
The 6-foot direct burial depth is specified for this pole. Setting depth affects both the above-grade height and the structural stability of the installation. Pole weight in the 1,430 to 1,690 pound range requires appropriate lifting and setting equipment.
CCA treatment protects the pole against rot and decay in ground-contact and outdoor exposure conditions. This treatment is applied to current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once installed, this pole provides a 34-foot above-grade mounting platform for area lighting. Cross arms are added to position fixtures at the desired angles and spacing around the pole. Installers attach 1 or 2 cross arms per side depending on how many fixture positions are needed.
Each cross arm becomes an independent mounting surface for fixtures and aiming hardware. The 240-pound limit per arm requires installers to calculate total fixture and bracket weight before loading. Sports field applications commonly use multiple cross arms to achieve broad coverage patterns from a single pole location.
After installation, the pole itself requires no adjustment. Fixture aiming and any hardware changes happen at the cross arm level. Access for maintenance or re-aiming typically requires a bucket truck or climbing equipment appropriate for the 34-foot working height.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Preservative treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association standards. The pole material is Southern Yellow Pine grown and processed in the United States.
This product includes a 1-year warranty.
