Our CCA Treated 40 Foot Wood Pole Class 3 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.
Our 40 ft round wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields, and a utility pole project. You can add up to 4 light arms per pole. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs per arm. Number of arms and lights depends on the class of pole you select. The class will determine the diameter at the base. Availability can change based on the quantity and length required as different sizes can have different lead times. Our poles are built with durability in mind to ensure long-lasting performance.
Options Available:
Cross Arms (4 per pole, 2 per side) and Mounting Brackets. Customer is responsible for mounting Cross Arm after 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 flatbed truck and the customer is responsible for offloading. Offloading requires a fork lift 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-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 Class 3 wood pole is manufactured from Ponderosa Pine and pressure treated with CCA preservative. The pole is built to ANSI O5.1 specification and treated to current American Wood Preservers Association standards for protection against termites, decay, and rot.
Total pole height is 40 feet with 34 feet above grade and 6 feet of direct burial depth. Pole weight ranges from 775 to 925 pounds. Minimum circumference at the top is 23 inches (7.321 inches diameter), increasing to 39.5 inches (12.573 inches diameter) at 6 feet from the butt.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is commonly used for sports field lighting, baseball field lighting, and utility pole applications. The 34-foot above-grade height and cross arm capacity make it suitable for area lighting where elevated mounting positions are required.
The Class 3 designation determines the structural capacity and taper profile. Facilities requiring higher wind loading or heavier fixture loads should evaluate whether a lower class number with greater base diameter is appropriate for site conditions.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole supports 2 to 4 total cross arms, with a maximum of 1 to 2 cross arms per side. Each cross arm position can carry up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware combined. Cross arm count and fixture quantity depend on the total weight distribution across mounting positions.
CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to biological degradation in direct burial installations. The treatment is applied under pressure to penetrate the wood fiber and meet AWPA standards for ground contact use.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is designed for direct burial installation at a depth of 6 feet. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available separately and must be installed after the pole is set. Poles ship without cross arms attached.
Pole weight of 775 to 925 pounds requires mechanical lifting equipment for handling and setting. Site preparation should account for equipment access and burial depth requirements before delivery.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, cross arms are mounted to the pole to create fixture positions for area lighting. Each arm can hold multiple fixtures as long as the combined weight of lights and mounting hardware does not exceed 240 pounds per arm.
Facilities typically configure these poles with LED area lights or sports lighting fixtures. The number of fixtures per arm depends on individual fixture weight and the bracket hardware used. Maintenance access for relamping or fixture replacement requires bucket truck or climbing equipment due to the 34-foot mounting height.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Treatment conforms to American Wood Preservers Association standards for preservative-treated wood products.
This product includes a 1-year warranty.
