Product Overview
This is a 45-foot fiberglass pole with 38 feet of height above grade and a 7-foot direct burial depth. The pole has a diameter of 11.85 inches and a wall thickness of .532 inches. Total weight is 760 pounds.
The pole is rated as ANSI Class 2, which is the structural equivalent of a Class 2 wood pole. It is finished with a fluoropolymer coating and is available in bronze, black, white, gray, or custom colors.
Fiberglass construction means the pole will not rot, rust, or corrode. The material is non-conductive and does not sustain flame. A 25-year UV protective coating is applied to the finish.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is intended for applications where a 38-foot above-grade mounting height is needed and a direct burial foundation is preferred over an anchor base. The Class 2 structural rating makes it suitable for sites that would otherwise require a Class 2 wood pole.
High wind zone projects are a primary use case. EPA values are published across wind speeds from 70 mph up to 160 mph, allowing fixture and arm combinations to be matched against site-specific wind exposure requirements.
The fiberglass material is appropriate where corrosion resistance is required, such as coastal areas or industrial environments with chemical exposure. Non-conductivity is relevant for installations near electrical infrastructure or in areas where grounding conditions are a concern.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole provides EPA capacity ranging from 142 square feet at 70 mph wind speed down to 10.5 square feet at 160 mph. Fixture and mounting arm selections must fall within the EPA limit for the wind speed applicable to the installation site.
Fiberglass poles are designed to flex under wind load and return to their original shape. This behavior differs from steel or aluminum poles, which may sustain permanent deformation under extreme conditions.
The fluoropolymer coating provides long-term UV resistance and color retention. The finish does not require repainting under normal service conditions.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed using direct burial to a depth of 7 feet. No anchor base or foundation cage is required. Soil conditions and local frost line depth should be evaluated during site planning.
At 760 pounds, the pole is lighter than steel or concrete alternatives of equivalent height and class. This reduces equipment requirements for delivery and installation. Standard rigging and lift equipment used for wood or steel poles of similar height is appropriate.
The fiberglass material does not degrade over time from moisture, insects, or soil chemistry. Maintenance is limited to periodic inspection of the finish and any mounted hardware.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Facility operators select this pole when a 38-foot mounting height is needed and site conditions favor direct burial over poured foundations. The fiberglass construction is often chosen for coastal or corrosive environments where steel would require additional protective coatings or more frequent inspection.
The published EPA values are used during layout to confirm that the selected luminaires and arms fall within the allowable wind load for the site. This is especially relevant in regions with high wind exposure ratings or hurricane zones.
Color selection is made at the time of order. Bronze, black, white, and gray are standard options. Custom colors are available for projects with specific aesthetic requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
The pole is ANSI Class 2 rated. The fiberglass material is non-conductive and does not sustain flame.
This pole is covered by a 7-year warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total pole height versus the above-grade height?
The total pole length is 45 feet. When installed to the specified 7-foot burial depth, 38 feet remains above grade.
What colors are available?
Bronze, black, white, and gray are standard. Custom colors are available.
What is the EPA rating for high wind zones?
EPA values are provided for wind speeds from 70 mph to 160 mph. At 150 mph, the EPA is 15 square feet. At 160 mph, the EPA is 10.5 square feet.
Is this pole suitable for coastal or corrosive environments?
Yes. Fiberglass does not rust, rot, or corrode, and the fluoropolymer finish provides long-term UV and weather resistance.
What is the warranty period?
This pole includes a 7-year warranty.
