Our 50 foot Class 1 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 50 foot wood light and utility pole is a Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 43 feet above grade with a 7 foot buried depth.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. Its size and Class 1 construction support field lighting structures and utility distribution installations where a tall wood pole is required.
Core Performance and Output
This pole is designed for structural support rather than light output. The 50 foot overall length, Class 1 rating, and direct burial configuration establish its use as a tall support structure with 43 feet exposed above grade.
Pole weight ranges from 2,350 to 2,770 pounds. Minimum top diameter is 8.6 inches, while the minimum diameter measured 6 feet from the butt is 14.3 inches.
Structural loading must account for the mounted equipment, cross arm configuration, wind exposure, and site conditions. The supplied data does not establish fixture weight limits, EPA ratings, or wind-load values.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole does not include lighting controls or electrical components. Controls, fixtures, conductors, and related hardware are determined by the installed system.
Optional 8 foot and 10 foot cross arms are available. Cross arm size and configuration depend on project requirements and the selected pole height and class.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine construction is CCA treated for rot and decay prevention. Treatment follows current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Long-term condition depends on installation quality, ground conditions, preservative treatment retention, and ongoing inspection of the exposed pole and buried section. The pole carries a 1 year warranty.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. It is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and has a minimum top circumference of 27 inches.
The minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 45 inches. Direct burial installation places 7 feet of the pole below grade and leaves 43 feet above grade.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits tall outdoor support installations where direct burial wood construction is appropriate. Its 43 foot above-grade height aligns with sports field lighting structures and utility distribution systems.
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- softball field lighting
- sports field lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment supports wood pole use where ground contact is required. Final use must account for soil conditions, structural loading, wind exposure, and the installed equipment configuration.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole installs by direct burial with a specified 7 foot below-grade depth. Handling equipment must account for the 2,350 to 2,770 pound pole weight and 50 foot overall length.
The pole should be set plumb before mounted equipment and cross arms are installed. The finished installation requires periodic inspection for visible damage, decay, hardware condition, and changes in ground stability.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, soccer field lighting, football field lighting, and sports field lighting, the pole provides 43 feet of mounting elevation above grade. Fixture aiming, cross arm arrangement, and pole placement are established by the lighting layout.
For rural roadway lighting and utility distribution, mounted equipment configuration determines the required cross arm arrangement and hardware. Higher mounting elevation can reduce the number of pole locations, but it also requires a layout that accounts for structural loading and light distribution.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. Preservative treatment follows current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty period is 1 year. Installation must account for pole weight, direct burial depth, site soil conditions, and the structural demands of mounted equipment.
