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.

Minimum pole top circumference is 27 inches, with a minimum outside diameter of 8.6 inches at the top. At 6 feet from the butt, the minimum circumference is 45 inches and the outside diameter is 14.3 inches.
Cross arms are available as an accessory in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths. These are selected based on project requirements and pole configuration.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 50 foot Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine pole is suited for utility installations requiring direct burial wood poles. Typical applications include supporting overhead electrical lines, area lighting, and communication lines.
The CCA treatment allows use in environments where resistance to rot and decay is required. The pole is intended for outdoor use where long-term structural support is necessary.
Class 1 rating and ANSI O5.1 compliance make this pole suitable for installations where higher load capacity and structural integrity are required.
Direct burial installation is appropriate for locations where concrete bases or anchor systems are not used.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole is designed for direct burial with 7 feet below grade, providing 43 feet of height above ground. This supports elevated mounting of utility lines or fixtures.
CCA treatment protects the wood from rot and decay, supporting long-term outdoor use. Southern Yellow Pine provides strength and durability for utility applications.
Class 1 designation supports higher load requirements compared to lower class poles. The specified minimum circumferences and diameters ensure structural consistency.
Pole weight varies due to natural wood density, which should be considered for handling and installation planning.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation is by direct burial, with 7 feet of the pole set below grade. Proper backfill and compaction are required to ensure stability.
The CCA treatment allows the pole to withstand ground contact and exposure to moisture. No additional surface treatment is required after installation.
Cross arms can be added as needed, with sizing determined by the pole height and application. These are attached after the pole is set.
Routine inspection for physical damage or environmental wear is recommended over the service life of the pole.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once installed, this wood pole provides a stable vertical support for overhead lines, area lighting, or communication equipment. The 43 feet above grade allows for elevated clearances as required by utility standards.
Operators can attach cross arms, brackets, or hardware as needed for their specific application. The pole's dimensions and load rating support a range of utility and lighting configurations.
Day-to-day, the pole requires minimal interaction beyond periodic inspection. The CCA treatment reduces the need for ongoing maintenance related to rot or decay.
Any adjustments or additions, such as new lines or equipment, can be made using standard utility hardware compatible with Class 1 wood poles.
