Our 40 foot Class 4 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
These 40 ft wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields or used as utility poles. You can add 1-2 light arms per side, 2-4 in total, but no more than 2 per side. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs per arm. The number of arms and lights depends on the class of the utility pole you select. The pole length will determine how significant the taper is as with all timber utility poles.
Options Available:
Cross Arms (2-4 per pole, 1-2 per side) and Mounting Brackets. The customer is responsible for mounting Cross Arm after the 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 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-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 Class 4 wood pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, grown and processed in the United States. The pole is treated with CCA preservative to AWPA standards and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Total pole weight ranges from 1,080 to 1,270 pounds.
The pole provides 34 feet of height above grade when installed at the specified 6-foot burial depth. Minimum diameter at the pole top is 6.684 inches, increasing to a minimum of 10.663 inches at six feet from the butt. Minimum circumference at the pole top is 21 inches, with 33.5 inches minimum at six feet from the butt.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 40-foot Class 4 pole is sized for sports field lighting, baseball field installations, and general utility applications where moderate fixture loads are required at heights around 34 feet above finished grade. The cross arm capacity supports multi-fixture configurations commonly needed for field illumination.
The CCA treatment provides protection against rot and decay, making this pole suitable for direct burial in outdoor environments. The Class 4 ANSI rating defines the structural capacity and determines the load limits for attached cross arms and fixtures.
Performance and Functional Considerations
This pole accepts 2 to 4 cross arms total, with a maximum of 2 cross arms per side. Each cross arm supports up to 240 pounds of fixtures and hardware. When planning fixture layouts, total weight per arm includes all luminaires, brackets, and mounting hardware combined.
The taper from butt to top is characteristic of wood utility poles and increases with pole length. The minimum diameter specifications define the smallest acceptable dimensions at key measurement points, with actual delivered poles meeting or exceeding these values.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is designed for direct burial installation at 6 feet below grade. The buried portion and CCA treatment work together to provide long-term resistance to rot and decay in ground contact. Pole weight of 1,080 to 1,270 pounds requires appropriate lifting and handling equipment during installation.
Cross arms and mounting brackets are available separately and must be installed after pole delivery. Poles ship without cross arms attached. The customer is responsible for cross arm mounting at the installation site.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Facilities typically configure these poles with 2 to 4 cross arms depending on the number of fixtures required and their positioning around the field. Each arm supports up to 6 light fixtures as long as the combined weight of fixtures and hardware stays within the 240-pound limit per arm.
The 34-foot above-grade height positions fixtures for coverage across sports fields and similar open areas. When replacing existing wood poles or adding new installations, the Class 4 rating and cross arm limits determine how many fixtures each pole can support and how they can be arranged.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Treatment follows AWPA standards for wood preservatives. The CCA treatment process protects the wood against biological degradation in outdoor and ground-contact conditions.
LED Lighting Supply provides a 1-year warranty on this product.
