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.
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 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 wood light and utility pole is a Class 4 Ponderosa Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 34 feet of height above grade with 6 feet buried below grade.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. It is used where a wood pole structure is required for sports field lighting and other listed utility or area lighting applications.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is based on the Class 4 wood pole construction, 40 foot overall length, and direct burial installation. The pole weighs 675 to 800 pounds and has a minimum 21 inch top circumference.
The pole has a minimum 36.5 inch circumference and 11.6 inch outside diameter at 6 feet from the butt. Fixture loading, wind exposure, and pole-top equipment requirements must be evaluated as part of the project design because fixture support limits are not provided with the product data.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-length wood pole with no adjustable height components. The installed above-grade height is determined by the specified 6 foot burial depth.
Electrical controls, luminaires, brackets, and pole-top mounting equipment are not included in the supplied product specifications. Those components must be selected separately for the required installation.
Longevity and Reliability
The Ponderosa Pine pole is pressure treated with CCA preservative treatment. The treatment is intended to protect the wood from termites, decay, and rot.
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Warranty coverage is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is constructed from Ponderosa Pine and has a 40 foot total height. The minimum pole-top outside diameter is 6.7 inches.
Direct burial installation places 6 feet below grade and leaves 34 feet above grade. The pole profile increases from the top toward the butt, with the specified dimensions measured at the pole top and 6 feet from the butt.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits outdoor installations that require a direct-buried wood structure with 34 feet of height above grade. It is suited to listed sports field, roadway, utility, and property lighting applications.
- baseball field lighting and softball field lighting
- football field lighting and soccer field lighting
- driving range lighting and recreational field lighting
- rural roadway lighting and agricultural property lighting
- area lighting and utility distribution
CCA treatment supports outdoor wood-pole use where exposure to termites, decay, and rot is a concern. Site conditions, structural loading, and burial requirements still need to align with the installation design.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole installs by direct burial with a specified 6 foot depth below grade. Handling equipment must account for the 675 to 800 pound pole weight and 40 foot overall length.
Installation crews should confirm the required above-grade height, pole orientation, and pole-top equipment before setting the pole. Long-term condition depends on maintaining the direct-burial installation and avoiding damage to the treated wood surface.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
The 34 foot above-grade height is used for layouts serving baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, soccer field lighting, football field lighting, and sports field lighting. Pole locations are established around the required field or recreational area layout before direct burial installation.
For rural roadway lighting, agricultural property lighting, area lighting, and utility distribution, pole placement follows the required coverage or utility route. Spacing and pole quantity vary with the project layout, pole-top equipment, and required lighting or utility design.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. The wood is pressure treated and preservative treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty is 1 year. Direct burial depth, lifting procedures, and pole-top loading must be addressed during installation planning.
