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 45 Foot Wood Pole, Class 4, is manufactured from CCA-treated Ponderosa Pine and built to ANSI O5.1 standards. It is designed for direct burial installation and supports elevated lighting and utility applications where a tall, structurally sound wood pole is required. Typical use includes sports field lighting and utility distribution in outdoor environments where wood poles are preferred for their non-conductive properties and ease of field modification.
The pole provides 38.5 feet of height above grade after burial, supporting mounting heights suitable for large area and sports field lighting layouts. Weight ranges from 800 to 970 lbs, with minimum top and butt diameters specified for consistent structural performance. This pole is commonly installed in municipal, recreational, and rural settings where wood is the standard for lighting and utility support.
Core Performance and Output
This Class 4 wood pole is engineered for structural reliability in outdoor lighting and utility applications. The pole supports typical fixture loads for sports field and area lighting, with minimum top circumference of 21 inches and 6.7-inch top outside diameter. The 12.2-inch diameter at 6 feet from the butt provides stability for direct burial and wind load resistance.
CCA treatment protects against decay, termites, and rot, extending service life in exposed environments. The pole?s structural capacity is suitable for mounting multiple fixtures or crossarms, within the limits of ANSI Class 4 and local wind load requirements. Excessive fixture weight or high EPA (Effective Projected Area) loads may require higher class or larger diameter poles for compliance with local codes.
Adjustability and Control Options
This wood pole allows for field drilling and mounting of brackets, crossarms, and hardware at required elevations. The non-conductive nature of wood simplifies attachment of lighting fixtures, distribution equipment, and controls. Standard pole top and side mounting practices apply.
Control options depend on the fixtures and hardware selected. The pole itself does not include integrated wiring or controls but accommodates conduit, cable, and accessory mounting as required for lighting or utility distribution systems.
Longevity and Reliability
Pressure treatment with CCA preservative provides resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage, supporting long-term outdoor use. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 and AWPA standards for dimensional and treatment consistency. Service life is influenced by soil conditions, drainage, and installation practices.
Routine inspection for physical damage, ground line decay, and hardware integrity is recommended. The 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects. Actual field longevity often exceeds warranty period when installed and maintained according to industry standards.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is constructed from Ponderosa Pine, debarked and pressure treated for outdoor durability. Minimum dimensions are specified for both top and butt to ensure structural uniformity. The pole?s weight and size support direct burial installation with 6.5 feet below grade for stability.
Surface finish is typical of utility-grade wood, with natural variation in grain and color. The pole is suitable for field modification, including drilling and hardware attachment, without compromising structural integrity when performed according to best practices.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 45 foot wood pole is suited for outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting heights for lighting or utility distribution. It is commonly used in sports field lighting, rural utility distribution, and large area illumination where wood poles are standard practice.

CCA treatment and direct burial design support installation in a range of soil and climate conditions. The pole is not suitable for coastal or highly corrosive environments without additional protection or specification.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires excavation to a depth of 6.5 feet, with proper backfill and compaction for stability. The pole?s weight and length require equipment for handling and setting. Field drilling for hardware and fixture mounting is standard practice.
Long-term use depends on maintaining ground line integrity and monitoring for decay or mechanical damage. Hardware and fixture loads must remain within the structural limits of Class 4 wood poles. Periodic inspection and maintenance extend service life and ensure continued performance.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Typical mounting heights are 38 to 39 feet above grade, supporting large area and sports field lighting layouts. Poles are spaced according to lighting design requirements, fixture output, and field geometry. Common practice includes mounting multiple fixtures or crossarms at the top or staggered elevations.
Fixture count and spacing are determined by light level targets and field size. Higher mounting heights reduce glare and improve uniformity but may require higher wattage fixtures. Tradeoff exists between pole count and fixture output for optimal coverage and cost.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to AWPA requirements. CCA treatment provides resistance to decay and insect damage. The pole is non-conductive, supporting safe installation of lighting and utility equipment.
Warranty is 1 year against manufacturing defects. Compliance with local codes and engineering requirements is necessary for safe and reliable installation.
