40 Foot Wood Pole | Class 3 | Treated | Southern Yellow Pine
This 40 foot Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine wood pole is a solid choice for utility and lighting projects requiring reliable structural support. Its CCA treatment and compliance with ANSI O5.1 ensure resistance to rot and decay, which is critical for long-term outdoor installations. The direct burial design simplifies installation, and the substantial dimensions provide stability for mounting luminaires or utility lines. With 34 feet above grade, it is well-suited for area lighting in parking lots, roadways, or outdoor yards where elevated mounting height is needed.

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
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.

Product Overview
This 40 foot wood light and utility pole is a Class 3, CCA treated Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 34 feet of height above grade with 6 feet buried below grade.
The pole is used for sports field lighting and utility distribution layouts where a treated wood structure is required. It is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications.
Core Performance and Output
Class 3 construction defines the pole category for structural planning. The pole has a minimum top circumference of 23 inches and a minimum circumference of 36 inches measured 6 feet from the butt.
Minimum outside diameter is 7.3 inches at the top and 11.4 inches at 6 feet from the butt. Pole weight ranges from 1,235 to 1,460 pounds and affects unloading, handling, and placement equipment requirements.
The 40 foot overall length provides 34 feet above grade after direct burial. Fixture loading, cross arm configuration, and site wind conditions require project-specific structural review.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-height direct burial pole with no integral adjustment or control components. Final above-grade height is established by the 6 foot burial depth.
Optional 8 foot and 10 foot cross arms are available. Cross arm size and configuration are determined by project requirements, pole height, and pole class.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine pole is CCA treated for rot and decay prevention. Treatment is applied to current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Wood poles require field inspection for damage before installation and periodic condition review after installation. The warranty is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Southern Yellow Pine provides the wood construction used for this Class 3 pole.
Total pole length is 40 feet. The direct burial configuration places 6 feet below grade and leaves 34 feet above grade.
Weight varies by individual pole within the stated 1,235 to 1,460 pound range. Handling plans need to account for this variation.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits field and site installations that use direct-buried wood structures. Its 34 foot above-grade height supports the listed sports field, recreational, area, and utility distribution applications.
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- driving range lighting
- recreational field lighting
- area lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment addresses rot and decay prevention. Site soil conditions, wind exposure, fixture loading, and cross arm requirements remain part of the installation design.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation is by direct burial with 6 feet of the pole below grade. The remaining 34 feet establishes the working height above grade.
Handling equipment must accommodate the pole’s 1,235 to 1,460 pound weight range. The pole should be inspected before setting for transport damage or treatment-related surface damage.
Cross arms, when required, are selected as 8 foot or 10 foot options based on project requirements. Long-term use includes periodic review of the exposed pole condition and installation area.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For football field lighting, soccer field lighting, baseball field lighting, and recreational field lighting, the pole is set with its specified 6 foot burial depth to maintain 34 feet above grade. Pole placement follows the field layout and required lighting arrangement.
Driving range lighting, area lighting, and utility distribution layouts use the same direct burial installation method. Cross arms may be included where the project configuration requires them.
Layout requirements affect pole placement and cross arm selection. A specific spacing distance or fixture count is not established by the supplied product data.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. CCA treatment is applied to current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty is 1 year. Installation requires equipment and handling practices appropriate for the pole weight and direct burial method.
