Our 45 foot Class 1 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 45 Foot Class 1 Wood Pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA preservative. It is designed for direct burial installation in outdoor environments where structural support for lighting, utility distribution, or field infrastructure is required. The pole meets ANSI O5.1 standards and is suitable for use in sports field lighting and utility distribution projects where a 45-foot mounting height is needed.
Typical installations include sports fields, rural roadways, and municipal or agricultural sites. The pole is supplied with a minimum top circumference of 27 inches and a minimum circumference of 43 inches measured 6 feet from the butt, supporting both lighting and utility loads. Optional cross arms are available to accommodate project-specific requirements.
Core Performance and Output
This Class 1 wood pole provides structural support for lighting fixtures, utility lines, and field infrastructure at heights up to 45 feet. The pole is engineered for direct burial with 6.5 feet below grade, resulting in 38.5 feet above grade for mounting. The Class 1 rating supports higher load capacities and longer spans compared to lower class poles.
Southern Yellow Pine offers high strength-to-weight ratio and is treated for long-term resistance to rot and decay. The pole?s diameter and circumference support mounting of multiple luminaires or cross arms, but total fixture EPA and weight must be evaluated against wind load and site conditions. Excessive fixture loading or high wind exposure may require additional engineering review.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole supports a range of mounting configurations using cross arms, brackets, or direct fixture mounting. Cross arms are available in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths to match project needs. The pole itself does not include integrated adjustability or control features; all adjustability is determined by the mounting hardware and fixture selection.
Control systems, such as photocells or remote switching, are installed at the fixture or circuit level and are not integrated into the pole structure. All mounting and control options must comply with the pole?s structural limits and ANSI O5.1 requirements.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its durability and load-bearing properties. The CCA treatment process meets American Wood Preservers Association standards, providing resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage. Proper direct burial installation and site drainage are required to maximize service life.
Routine inspection for physical damage, decay at ground line, and hardware integrity is recommended. The pole?s reliability is dependent on adherence to installation best practices and ongoing maintenance in line with utility and sports field standards.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is manufactured in the United States from Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and treated to ANSI O5.1 specifications. The pole weight ranges from 1990 to 2330 lbs, with a minimum top outside diameter of 8.6 inches and a minimum diameter of 13.7 inches measured 6 feet from the butt.
The CCA preservative treatment is applied to ensure long-term resistance to environmental exposure. The pole is supplied for direct burial installation, with no base plate or anchor bolts required. Cross arms and mounting hardware are available as optional accessories and must be specified to match the pole class and height.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 45 foot Class 1 wood pole is suited for outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting of lighting or utility infrastructure. It is commonly used in:
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- sports field lighting
- utility distribution
- area lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
- municipal lighting
The pole is intended for direct burial in soil and is compatible with both lighting and utility applications. It is not suitable for corrosive marine environments or locations requiring non-wood materials.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation requires excavation to a depth of 6.5 feet for direct burial. The pole must be set plumb and backfilled according to utility or sports field standards. All mounting hardware and cross arms must be sized for the pole?s class and anticipated loading.
Long-term use depends on site drainage, soil conditions, and periodic inspection for decay or mechanical damage. Hardware should be checked for corrosion and tightness. Replacement intervals vary based on environmental exposure and maintenance practices.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Poles of this size are typically installed for mounting sports field luminaires, utility lines, or area lighting at heights between 35 and 40 feet above grade. Fixture spacing and pole layout are determined by lighting design requirements, field size, and utility line spans.
For sports field lighting, poles are often spaced around the perimeter to provide uniform coverage. Higher mounting heights reduce the number of poles required but may increase wind loading and structural demands. Cross arm selection and fixture mounting patterns must be coordinated with the pole?s load capacity.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to American Wood Preservers Association specifications. The CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and decay. All installations must comply with local codes and utility or sports field requirements.
The product includes a 1-year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects. Safety during installation requires proper lifting equipment and adherence to OSHA and site-specific safety protocols.
