Our 45 foot Class 4 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 4 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. Typical use cases include sports field lighting and utility distribution for municipal or rural sites.
The pole is built to ANSI O5.1 standards and meets American Wood Preservers Association requirements for rot and decay resistance. With a total length of 45 feet and a height above grade of 38.5 feet, this pole is suited for large-scale area lighting and utility projects where elevated mounting heights are necessary.
Core Performance and Output
This Class 4 wood pole supports mounting heights up to 38.5 feet above grade, providing the structural capacity for high mast lighting, sports field fixtures, or utility lines. The minimum pole top circumference is 21 inches, with a 6.7 inch minimum top outside diameter, supporting standard cross arm and bracket hardware. Weight ranges from 1290 to 1520 lbs, ensuring stability for demanding applications.
Direct burial installation at 6.5 feet below grade delivers reliable anchoring in most soil conditions. The pole?s structural performance is suitable for typical wind loads encountered in sports field and utility environments. For installations with high wind exposure or oversized fixtures, verify EPA and load calculations based on project requirements.
Adjustability and Control Options
This wood pole is compatible with a range of cross arm and bracket configurations. Both 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are available as accessories, allowing for multiple fixture mounting or utility line support. Cross arm sizing and placement are determined by project layout and pole class.
There are no integrated electrical or control features. All fixture aiming, wiring, and control systems are field-configured based on the application. The pole?s form factor supports standard hardware for lighting, distribution, or field infrastructure.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine is pressure treated with CCA to meet current American Wood Preservers Association standards. This treatment provides resistance to rot, decay, and insect activity in outdoor environments. The pole is manufactured and treated in the United States for consistent quality.
Long-term durability is typical for CCA-treated wood poles when installed with proper burial depth and drainage. Periodic inspection is recommended to monitor for surface checking or mechanical damage over time. Warranty coverage is 1 year from installation.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is constructed from solid Southern Yellow Pine, debarked and shaped to meet ANSI O5.1 Class 4 specifications. Minimum circumference and outside diameter dimensions are maintained at both the top and 6 feet from the butt for structural consistency. Weight is specified at 1290?1520 lbs per pole.
CCA treatment is applied to the full length of the pole for below- and above-grade protection. The pole is supplied for direct burial installation, with a recommended 6.5 feet below grade. Cross arm mounting holes and hardware are field-drilled as required by the project.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 45 foot Class 4 wood pole is suited for large outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting heights and robust structural support. Typical installations include sports fields, municipal lighting, and rural utility distribution where direct burial and wood construction are preferred.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- sports field lighting
- utility distribution
- area lighting
- municipal lighting
- parking lot lighting
- agricultural property lighting
CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine construction provides resistance to decay and insects in outdoor environments. The pole is suitable for use in most soil types and climates where wood poles are standard practice.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires excavation to a depth of 6.5 feet, with backfill and compaction for stability. Standard pole setting equipment is required due to the weight and length of the pole. Cross arms and hardware are installed after the pole is set and plumbed.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for surface weathering, mechanical damage, or ground line decay. CCA treatment provides long-term protection, but periodic maintenance may be needed in high-moisture or high-traffic areas. Hardware and fixture loads should be reviewed to ensure compliance with Class 4 structural limits.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Poles of this size are typically installed at mounting heights of 35 to 38.5 feet above grade. Fixture spacing and cross arm configuration depend on the lighting layout or utility requirements of the site. For sports field lighting, poles are commonly spaced around the perimeter to provide uniform coverage.
Fixture count and mounting hardware are determined by the weight and EPA of the luminaires or utility equipment. Higher mounting heights reduce the number of poles required but may increase wind loading and structural demands. Cross arm length and orientation are selected based on field geometry and project needs.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to American Wood Preservers Association specifications. CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and decay. All poles are produced in the United States from Southern Yellow Pine.
Warranty coverage is 1 year from installation. Installation and handling should follow standard safety practices for utility pole setting and overhead work. Cross arm and fixture loads must be verified to remain within Class 4 structural limits.
