Product Overview
The 38 Foot Above Grade Round Fiberglass Pole is engineered for robust performance in high wind zones, making it suitable for sports field and stadium lighting. With a total height of 45 feet and a direct burial installation, this pole is equivalent to a Class 2 wood pole. Its fiberglass construction ensures non-conductivity and fire resistance, providing a reliable solution for environments where safety and durability are paramount.
This pole features a fluoropolymer coating that enhances its longevity by protecting against UV degradation. Available in multiple colors, it offers flexibility in aesthetic integration with existing infrastructure. The pole's design allows it to bend rather than break under stress, ensuring resilience in adverse weather conditions.
Core Performance and Output
The fiberglass pole is designed to withstand high wind conditions with EPA ratings up to 160 mph. Its structural capacity supports various lighting fixtures, ensuring stability and safety. The pole's non-conductive material enhances safety, particularly in environments prone to electrical hazards.
With a buried depth of 7 feet, the pole provides a stable foundation, reducing the risk of tipping or structural failure. The fluoropolymer coating ensures resistance to corrosion and environmental wear, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use.
Adjustability and Control Options
This fiberglass pole does not include adjustable features or control options. Its primary function is to provide a stable and durable mounting solution for lighting fixtures in high wind areas. The pole's design focuses on structural integrity and environmental resilience rather than adjustability.
Longevity and Reliability
Constructed from fiberglass, this pole offers superior longevity compared to traditional materials like wood or steel. It does not rot, rust, or corrode, ensuring a long service life with minimal maintenance. The UV protective paint further extends its lifespan by preventing degradation from sun exposure.
The pole's ability to bend under stress without breaking enhances its reliability in high wind zones. This characteristic reduces the likelihood of catastrophic failure, providing peace of mind in challenging environments.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole's build quality is characterized by its lightweight yet strong fiberglass construction. Weighing 760 lbs, it is easier to handle and install compared to heavier materials. The 11.85-inch diameter and .532-inch gauge provide a robust structure capable of supporting various lighting fixtures.
Available in colors such as Bronze, Black, White, and Gray, the pole can be customized to match the aesthetic requirements of different installations. The fluoropolymer coating ensures a smooth finish that resists environmental wear.
