Our 45 foot Class 3 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 wood utility pole is a Class 3, CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 38.5 feet of height above grade with 6.5 feet installed below grade.
The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. It is used where a wood pole structure is required for sports field lighting, area lighting, roadway lighting, or utility distribution.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is based on the 45 foot overall length, Class 3 rating, Southern Yellow Pine construction, and direct burial installation method. Pole weight ranges from 1,485 to 1,750 pounds.
The minimum top circumference is 23 inches, with a minimum top outside diameter of 7.3 inches. At 6 feet from the butt, the minimum circumference is 37.5 inches and the outside diameter is 11.9 inches.
The usable above-grade height is fixed at 38.5 feet. Fixture, cross arm, and loading requirements must be evaluated against the selected pole class and project structural requirements.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole does not include lighting controls or electrical components. Control equipment is determined by the lighting system installed on the pole.
Optional 8 foot and 10 foot cross arms are available. Cross arm configuration and sizing depend on pole height, pole class, and project requirements.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine is CCA treated for rot and decay prevention. Treatment is completed to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Wood utility poles require routine field inspection for surface condition, ground-line condition, hardware condition, and attachment integrity. The warranty is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. It uses Southern Yellow Pine wood construction with a tapered profile from butt to pole top.
Direct burial installation places 6.5 feet of the pole below grade. The total pole length is 45 feet.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits projects requiring a direct-buried wood support structure with 38.5 feet above grade. Its Class 3 construction supports applications within the wood light and utility pole category.
- baseball field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- football field lighting
- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment addresses rot and decay prevention. Final application fit depends on project loading, attachment configuration, burial conditions, and structural requirements.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole is installed by direct burial with 6.5 feet below grade and 38.5 feet remaining above grade. Site preparation must account for the pole weight, burial depth, and equipment access required during setting.
Cross arms, luminaires, wiring, and other attachments are installed as part of the completed system. Attachment configuration must be established before installation because it affects pole loading and hardware requirements.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, soccer field lighting, football field lighting, and sports field lighting, the 38.5 foot above-grade height establishes the available fixture mounting elevation. Pole locations are arranged around the field layout and lighting design.
For driving range lighting, rural roadway lighting, agricultural property lighting, and utility distribution, pole placement follows the required coverage or distribution route. Spacing and layout vary with the attached equipment, target coverage, and site requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. CCA treatment meets the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty is 1 year. Direct-buried poles should be inspected throughout service life for condition at the ground line and at attachment points.
