Our 40 foot Class 5 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 utility pole is a Class 5 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 34 feet of height above grade with a 6 foot buried depth.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. It is used for sports field lighting and utility distribution installations where a wood pole structure is required.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is based on the 40 foot overall length, Class 5 rating, direct burial configuration, and Southern Yellow Pine construction. Pole weight ranges from 935 to 1100 pounds.
The pole has a minimum top circumference of 19 inches and a minimum circumference of 31 inches at 6 feet from the butt. Its minimum top outside diameter is 6 inches, increasing to 9.8 inches at 6 feet from the butt.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole has a fixed 40 foot overall length and a fixed 34 foot height above grade when installed at the specified 6 foot burial depth. It does not include integrated lighting controls or electrical components.
Optional 8 foot and 10 foot cross arms are available. Cross arm configuration and sizing depend on project requirements and the selected pole height and class.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine pole is treated with CCA preservatives. Treatment is performed to current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
CCA treatment supports resistance to rot and decay during long-term outdoor use. Regular inspection of the pole, buried section, hardware, and attached equipment remains necessary throughout service life.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Southern Yellow Pine provides a traditional wood utility pole construction for direct burial use.
Installation requires handling equipment appropriate for a pole weighing 935 to 1100 pounds. The 6 foot below-grade section must be accounted for before establishing final above-grade height.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits outdoor sports field and utility distribution work requiring a 40 foot direct burial wood pole. Its Class 5 construction and above-grade height align with installations that need elevated field or utility support.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- utility distribution
The CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine construction is intended for outdoor exposure and direct burial installation. Final pole selection must account for the attached equipment and project structural requirements.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Install this pole by direct burial with 6 feet below grade, leaving 34 feet above grade. Site layout must account for the full 40 foot pole length during handling and setting.
Cross arms, attached fixtures, utility equipment, hardware, and structural loading must be confirmed for the project before installation. The 935 to 1100 pound pole weight affects transport, lifting, and setting procedures.
