Our 40 foot Class 3 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 3 wood utility pole made from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA preservative. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards for rot and decay prevention. Total pole weight ranges from 1,235 to 1,460 pounds.
The pole is designed for direct burial installation with 6 feet below grade and 34 feet of usable height above grade. Minimum circumference at the top is 23 inches (7.321-inch diameter), tapering to a minimum of 36 inches (11.459-inch diameter) at 6 feet from the butt.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is commonly used at sports fields, baseball fields, and as a general utility pole where elevated mounting height is required. The 34-foot above-grade height provides clearance and coverage positioning for area lighting or equipment mounting in open outdoor spaces.
Class 3 poles are appropriate for installations where moderate load capacity is needed. The cross arm configuration supports lighting arrays or equipment on multiple sides of the pole without exceeding structural limits.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole accepts 2 to 4 cross arms total, with a maximum of 2 cross arms per side. Each cross arm supports up to 240 pounds of attached weight, which includes fixtures, mounting hardware, and any other equipment. Load calculations should account for all components attached to each arm.
Southern Yellow Pine is a dense domestic species that accepts CCA treatment effectively. The preservative treatment addresses rot and decay in ground-contact and above-ground exposure. The taper from butt to top is characteristic of timber utility poles and increases with pole length.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole requires direct burial installation to a depth of 6 feet. Equipment and personnel capable of handling 1,235 to 1,460 pounds of pole weight are necessary for setting. Cross arms and mounting brackets are available separately and must be attached after delivery. Poles ship without cross arms installed.
The treated Southern Yellow Pine construction provides long-term durability in outdoor exposure. Routine inspection of ground-line condition and cross arm attachment points is standard maintenance practice for wood pole installations.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Facility operators use this pole to elevate lighting or other equipment at sports venues and open outdoor areas where 34 feet of above-grade height meets the application requirement. The cross arm configuration allows fixtures or equipment to be positioned on multiple sides of the pole.
When mounting lighting fixtures, each cross arm accommodates up to 6 lights provided the total weight of fixtures and hardware does not exceed 240 pounds per arm. The specific number of arms and fixtures installed depends on the layout requirements and load limits of the Class 3 rating.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Preservative treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association standards. The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States.
This product includes a 1-year warranty.
