Our CCA Treated 40 Foot Wood Pole Class 4 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 is a 40-foot Class 4 wood pole manufactured from Ponderosa Pine and pressure treated with CCA preservative. The pole is designed for direct burial installation with 6 feet below grade and 34 feet of usable height above ground. Total pole weight ranges from 675 to 800 pounds.
The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards. CCA treatment protects against termites, decay, and rot. The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States.
Minimum circumference at the pole top is 21 inches with a minimum diameter of 6.7 inches. At 6 feet from the butt, minimum circumference is 36.5 inches with a minimum diameter of 11.6 inches. These dimensions correspond to Class 4 structural classification.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is used in sports field lighting applications including baseball fields and general athletic facilities. The 34-foot above-grade height and cross arm capacity support multi-fixture lighting layouts on a single pole.
Direct burial installation makes this pole appropriate for sites where concrete foundations are not required or preferred. The CCA treatment provides resistance to ground contact degradation in direct burial conditions.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole supports 2 to 4 cross arms total, with a maximum of 1 to 2 cross arms per side. Each cross arm has a maximum attached weight capacity of 240 pounds, which includes fixtures and mounting hardware combined.
Class 4 designation defines the structural load capacity and taper profile of the pole. The class determines base diameter and overall load-bearing characteristics. Fixture and arm quantities should be selected based on combined weight not exceeding the per-arm limit.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole requires direct burial installation to a depth of 6 feet. The buried portion provides structural support without the need for a poured concrete foundation. Proper compaction of backfill material is necessary to maintain pole stability.
Cross arms are shipped separately and must be mounted after pole delivery. Poles do not arrive with cross arms attached. On-site installation of cross arms and fixtures is required.
Pole weight of 675 to 800 pounds requires appropriate lifting and handling equipment during installation. Planning for equipment access and site staging is necessary before delivery.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Facility operators typically mount up to 6 fixtures per cross arm, provided the total weight of fixtures and hardware does not exceed 240 pounds per arm. The configuration of arms and fixtures is determined during layout planning based on coverage requirements and fixture weight.
The 34-foot above-grade height positions fixtures at an elevation common in recreational and athletic field lighting. Arm placement on opposite sides of the pole allows for directional aiming of fixtures toward different field zones.
Maintenance access to fixtures mounted at this height requires bucket truck or lift equipment. Cross arm attachment points should be verified during installation to ensure secure long-term mounting.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Preservative treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association standards.
This product includes a 1-year warranty.
