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.
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 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 is a 45 foot Class 3 wood utility pole made from Ponderosa Pine. The pole is CCA treated for durability and is designed for direct burial installation.
The total height is 45 feet, with 38.5 feet above grade and 6.5 feet below grade. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and meets Class 3 requirements.
Minimum pole top circumference is 23 inches, and minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 41.5 inches. The pole weight ranges from 930 to 1100 pounds.
This pole is suitable for supporting 2 to 4 cross arms in commercial lighting applications.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 45 foot Class 3 wood pole is used in commercial and industrial lighting projects where a tall, durable mounting structure is required.
It is suitable for outdoor areas such as parking lots, roadways, distribution yards, and large facility perimeters where elevated lighting is needed.
The direct burial design allows installation in soil without the need for a separate foundation or anchor base.
CCA treatment provides resistance to termites, decay, and rot, making it appropriate for long-term outdoor use in a range of climates.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole supports 2 to 4 cross arms, allowing for multiple lighting fixtures or other utility attachments as required by the site layout.
Class 3 rating and ANSI O5.1 compliance ensure the pole meets structural requirements for commercial lighting loads.
Ponderosa Pine provides a balance of strength and manageable weight for handling and installation.
CCA treatment extends service life by protecting the wood from environmental and biological damage.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is designed for direct burial, with 6.5 feet of the total length installed below grade. No anchor base or separate mounting hardware is required for standard soil conditions.
Minimum pole top and butt circumferences are specified for compatibility with standard cross arm and bracket hardware.
Once installed, the CCA treatment helps maintain structural integrity by resisting rot and insect damage over time.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for physical damage or environmental wear, as with all wood utility poles.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
After installation, this pole serves as a mounting structure for LED lighting fixtures, cross arms, and related equipment. The height above grade provides elevated mounting for wide-area illumination.
Operators can attach 2 to 4 cross arms to support multiple fixtures or utility lines as needed for the site. The pole's dimensions and treatment allow it to remain in place for extended periods with minimal maintenance.
Day-to-day, the pole is not adjusted or repositioned. Any fixture maintenance or replacement is performed using standard access equipment.
The treated wood surface can be drilled or fastened using standard hardware for lighting and electrical attachments.
