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
Cross arms are available for our Southern Yellow Pine poles as an optional accessory. Configuration and sizing are determined based on project requirements, as well as the height and class of the selected pole. We offer both 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms, our product specialists can help confirm the appropriate size for your application.
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 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 wood light and utility pole is a Class 4 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 34 feet above grade with a 6 foot buried depth.
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, utility distribution, and rural roadway lighting.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is based on the Class 4 pole classification, 40 foot overall length, and direct burial installation method. The pole weighs 1080 to 1270 pounds and has a minimum top outside diameter of 6.7 inches.
The pole has a minimum top circumference of 21 inches and a minimum circumference of 33.5 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. Fixture loading, cross arm configuration, wind exposure, and field layout must be evaluated for the specific installation because EPA and fixture load ratings are not provided.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole has no integral lighting controls or adjustable structural components. Its fixed configuration provides 34 feet of installed height above grade after direct burial.
Optional 8 foot and 10 foot cross arms are available. Cross arm sizing and configuration depend on project requirements and the selected pole class and height.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine pole is CCA treated for rot and decay prevention. The preservative treatment meets the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Long-term performance depends on correct burial depth, stable soil conditions, and maintaining the pole structure after installation. The pole includes a 1 year warranty.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Southern Yellow Pine construction provides a wood utility pole structure for direct burial work.
The outside diameter is 10.7 inches at 6 feet from the butt. Pole handling equipment must account for the 1080 to 1270 pound pole weight during unloading, placement, and installation.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits outdoor installations requiring a 34 foot above-grade wood pole structure and direct burial construction. It is suited to listed sports field, utility, roadway, and agricultural property applications.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting and soccer field lighting
- softball field lighting and sports field lighting
- driving range lighting and recreational field lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment supports use where rot and decay prevention is required. Site-specific soil, wind exposure, loading, and cross arm requirements remain part of the structural evaluation.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole installs by direct burial with 6 feet below grade and 34 feet above grade. The installation crew must manage the pole weight and maintain the required installed orientation during setting.
Cross arms, lighting equipment, and utility distribution components must be configured around the pole class, height, and project requirements. Long-term inspection should include the exposed pole condition and the area at grade level.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, soccer field lighting, football field lighting, and sports field lighting, the 34 foot above-grade height establishes the elevation point for the installed equipment. Pole placement follows the project field layout and required lighting arrangement.
For driving range lighting, recreational field lighting, rural roadway lighting, agricultural property lighting, and utility distribution, placement follows the required site layout and equipment configuration. Higher equipment elevation can affect layout coverage, while final pole locations depend on the project design.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. The CCA preservative treatment meets the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The pole includes a 1 year warranty. Direct burial installation requires a 6 foot buried depth.
