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
These 45 ft wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields or used as utility poles. You can add 1-2 light arms per side, 2-4 in total, but no more than 2 per side. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs per arm. The number of arms and lights depends on the class of the utility pole you select. The pole length will determine how significant the taper is as with all timber utility poles.
Options Available:
Cross Arms (2-4 per pole, 1-2 per side) and Mounting Brackets. The customer is responsible for mounting Cross Arm after the poles are delivered. Poles do not ship with cross arms attached.
These are the lights we typically mount on the cross arms. Up to 6 lights per arm, not to exceed 240 total pounds of fixtures and hardware.
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-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 is a 45-foot Class 3 wood utility pole made from Southern Yellow Pine, grown and manufactured in the United States. The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification, with preservative treatment meeting American Wood Preservers Association standards for rot and decay prevention.
Total pole height is 45 feet, with 38.5 feet above grade and 6.5 feet buried below grade. Pole weight ranges from 1,485 to 1,750 pounds. Minimum circumference at the top is 23 inches (7.321-inch diameter), tapering to a minimum of 37.5 inches (11.937-inch diameter) at 6 feet from the butt.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is used for sports field lighting, baseball field lighting, and general utility applications. The 38.5-foot above-grade height and Class 3 rating make it suitable for mounting area lighting where moderate fixture loads are required.
The direct burial installation method means this pole is set directly into the ground without requiring a separate foundation or anchor base. Site conditions and soil type will determine specific installation requirements for the 6.5-foot burial depth.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The Class 3 ANSI rating defines the load-bearing capacity of this pole. This pole supports 2 to 4 cross arms total, with a maximum of 2 cross arms per side. Each cross arm can carry up to 240 pounds of attached weight, including fixtures and mounting hardware.
Southern Yellow Pine is a dense softwood species commonly used for utility poles due to its strength characteristics and treatment receptivity. The CCA preservative treatment provides protection against rot and decay. As with all timber utility poles, the 45-foot length produces visible taper from butt to top.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole requires direct burial installation with 6.5 feet below grade. The pole weight of 1,485 to 1,750 pounds requires equipment for handling and setting. Cross arms are not attached at the time of delivery and must be mounted on-site after the pole is set.
Cross arms and mounting brackets are available separately. All cross arm attachment and fixture mounting work is completed after pole installation. The treated wood construction is designed for long-term outdoor exposure in utility and sports lighting applications.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Operators mounting lighting on this pole work within the 240-pound-per-arm weight limit. Each cross arm can support up to 6 light fixtures, provided the combined weight of fixtures and mounting hardware does not exceed 240 pounds. With up to 2 arms per side and 4 arms total, the configuration depends on the coverage pattern and fixture count required for the application.
The 38.5-foot mounting height above grade is typical for recreational sports field lighting where moderate pole heights are acceptable. Baseball fields and multi-use athletic facilities commonly use poles in this height range. The taper from butt to top is a normal characteristic of timber poles at this length and does not affect structural performance.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Preservative treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association standards.
This product includes a 1-year warranty.
