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.

Where This Product Fits Best

This 40 foot Class 5 Southern Yellow Pine pole is used in commercial and industrial power distribution applications where direct burial wood poles are required.

It is suitable for outdoor environments where long-term durability and resistance to decay are necessary. The CCA treatment allows the pole to be installed in areas with exposure to soil moisture and varying weather conditions.

Typical use cases include supporting overhead power lines, lighting, and utility distribution infrastructure in commercial, industrial, and municipal settings.

The pole supports multiple cross arms, making it appropriate for installations requiring multiple circuits or equipment mounting at height.

Performance and Functional Considerations

The ANSI Class 5 rating defines the structural capacity and minimum dimensions for this pole. The pole supports 2 to 4 cross arms, each with a 240 lb capacity, allowing for multiple lines or equipment to be mounted.

CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and decay, supporting long-term outdoor use. The Southern Yellow Pine material offers strength and resilience for utility applications.

Direct burial installation requires a 6 foot depth below grade, leaving 34 feet above grade for mounting and clearance. The pole's weight and dimensions should be considered for handling and installation planning.

Minimum pole top and butt diameters ensure compatibility with standard hardware and cross arm mounting requirements.

Installation and Long-Term Use

This pole is designed for direct burial installation, with a 6 foot section below grade. Proper burial depth is required for stability and compliance with standard installation practices.

Handling and setting the pole requires equipment capable of managing weights between 935 and 1100 lbs. The pole's dimensions and weight should be reviewed for site access and installation logistics.

CCA treatment supports long-term resistance to decay in contact with soil and moisture. Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage or environmental wear over time.

Cross arms are available as optional accessories and should be selected based on project requirements and pole configuration. Both 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are compatible with this pole.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

After installation, this 40 foot wood pole is used to support overhead power lines, lighting fixtures, or other utility equipment. The pole's height and structural class allow for multiple cross arms to be mounted at various elevations.

Operators can attach equipment or lines to the cross arms, with each arm supporting up to 240 lbs. The treated wood construction allows the pole to remain in service for extended periods with minimal maintenance.

Routine inspection may involve checking the pole for signs of decay, mechanical damage, or hardware loosening. The direct burial design means the pole remains fixed in place, with only the above-grade section accessible for equipment adjustments or maintenance.

Cross arm configuration can be adjusted based on operational needs, with both 8-foot and 10-foot options available for different mounting requirements.
