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 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 is a 40 foot Class 4 wood pole made from Ponderosa Pine. The pole is CCA treated for durability and weather resistance. It is designed for direct burial installation with a total height of 40 feet and 34 feet above grade after installation.
The pole meets ANSI Class 4 requirements and is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Minimum pole top circumference is 21 inches, with a minimum circumference of 36.5 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. The pole weight ranges from 675 to 800 pounds.
Pressure treatment is applied to meet American Wood Preservers Association standards. The pole is intended for use in electrical and lighting installations where a treated wood pole is required.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 40 foot Class 4 Ponderosa Pine pole is suitable for municipal lighting projects, utility distribution, and roadway lighting where a direct burial wood pole is specified.
It is commonly used in outdoor environments that require a durable, weather-resistant pole for supporting electrical lines or lighting fixtures. The CCA treatment allows for installation in areas exposed to moisture, insects, and decay risks.
Applications include street lighting, area lighting, and utility distribution where a 40 foot above-ground height is needed. The pole is appropriate for both new installations and replacement of existing wood poles of similar class and size.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole is rated ANSI Class 4, supporting the specified load range for this class. The CCA treatment provides resistance to termites, decay, and rot, supporting long-term outdoor use.
Direct burial installation requires a 6 foot depth below grade, resulting in 34 feet of pole height above ground. The minimum pole top outside diameter is 6.7 inches, and the outside diameter 6 feet from the butt is 11.6 inches.
The weight range of 675 to 800 pounds should be considered for handling and installation planning. The pole's dimensions and treatment are suitable for standard utility and lighting applications requiring a wood pole of this size and class.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is designed for direct burial installation. A 6 foot section is buried below grade, leaving 34 feet above grade for mounting fixtures or lines.
The CCA treatment supports long-term resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and insect activity. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification, ensuring dimensional and performance consistency.
Handling and installation require equipment capable of managing the 675 to 800 pound weight. The pole's size and treatment allow for use in a range of outdoor environments where wood poles are standard.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this 40 foot wood pole provides a stable mounting point for lighting fixtures, electrical lines, or other utility hardware. The direct burial method keeps the pole securely anchored in soil or other approved substrates.
The CCA treatment allows the pole to remain in service in areas with high moisture or insect exposure. Maintenance typically involves periodic inspection for physical damage or surface wear.
Operators can attach luminaires, brackets, or crossarms as required for the application. The pole's dimensions support standard hardware used in municipal and utility lighting projects.
