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
The 40 Foot Wood Pole, Class 4, is crafted from Ponderosa Pine and treated with CCA to ensure durability and resistance against decay and termites. Designed for direct burial installation, this pole is suitable for various outdoor lighting applications, particularly in sports and stadium settings. With a total height of 40 feet and a buried depth of 6 feet, it provides a stable and reliable solution for mounting lighting fixtures in large open areas.
This pole is manufactured to meet ANSI O5.1 specifications, ensuring it meets industry standards for strength and performance. Its construction from Ponderosa Pine, a material known for its strength and resilience, makes it an ideal choice for environments requiring robust structural support.
Core Performance and Output
The 40 Foot Wood Pole offers a structural capacity that supports a range of lighting fixtures, making it suitable for sports field and stadium lighting applications. With a weight range of 675-800 lbs, it provides a stable foundation for mounting. The pole's EPA ratings and wind load performance ensure it can withstand environmental stresses, making it reliable in various weather conditions.
Its material performance, including non-conductivity and corrosion resistance, enhances its suitability for outdoor use. The pole's height above grade of 34 feet allows for effective light distribution over large areas, although care should be taken to ensure the fixtures used are appropriate for the mounting height to avoid excessive glare or reduced uniformity.
Adjustability and Control Options
This wood pole does not include integrated adjustability or control options. However, its design allows for compatibility with a variety of lighting fixtures that may offer their own adjustability features. The pole's height and structural integrity support the installation of fixtures with adjustable beam angles or dimming capabilities, depending on the specific lighting needs of the application.
While the pole itself is fixed, the choice of lighting fixtures can provide the necessary control and adjustability to meet specific lighting requirements, such as varying light levels or directional lighting for sports fields.
Longevity and Reliability
The CCA treatment applied to the Ponderosa Pine ensures long-term resistance to decay, termites, and rot, contributing to the pole's longevity. This treatment, combined with the inherent strength of the wood, provides a reliable solution for outdoor lighting applications where durability is essential.
With a one-year warranty, the pole offers assurance of quality and performance. Its construction and treatment are designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments, making it a dependable choice for long-term installations.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
Constructed from Ponderosa Pine, the 40 Foot Wood Pole features a minimum pole top circumference of 21 inches and a minimum circumference of 36.5 inches at 6 feet from the butt. The pole's dimensions and weight ensure it can support a variety of lighting fixtures while maintaining structural integrity.
The CCA treatment enhances the pole's resistance to environmental factors, ensuring it remains robust and reliable over time. Its direct burial installation method provides a secure and stable foundation, essential for maintaining performance in demanding outdoor settings.
