Our 50 foot Class 2 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
We supply 50 foot Class 2 wood poles manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, CCA treated for long-term durability. These poles are designed for direct burial installation and meet ANSI O5.1 standards. Typical use includes supporting sports field lighting and utility distribution in outdoor environments where structural height and strength are required. The 50 foot height is commonly specified for baseball, softball, and football field lighting layouts, as well as municipal and rural utility projects.
Each pole is grown, processed, and treated in the United States. The Class 2 rating provides a balance of strength and manageable weight for field handling and installation. Cross arm accessories are available to support multiple fixture or line configurations as needed for the application.
Core Performance and Output
This 50 foot wood pole supports mounting heights up to 43 feet above grade, with a 7 foot direct burial depth for stability. The Class 2 rating and Southern Yellow Pine construction provide structural capacity for sports lighting fixtures, area lighting, and utility lines. Minimum top circumference is 25 inches, with a minimum 8 inch top diameter, supporting standard sports lighting cross arms and bracketry.
Typical pole weight ranges from 2000 to 2400 lbs. The CCA treatment protects against rot and decay in outdoor environments. Structural performance is suitable for wind load and EPA requirements found in sports field and utility applications. For high wind zones or heavy fixture loads, verify EPA and weight limits based on project requirements. Excessive fixture loading or non-standard mounting configurations may require engineering review.
Adjustability and Control Options
Wood poles do not offer integrated adjustability. Fixture mounting and aiming are determined by the cross arm or bracket system selected for the project. Cross arms are available in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths to accommodate different lighting layouts or utility line spacing.
Control options are determined by the fixtures or utility equipment mounted to the pole. The pole itself does not include integrated wiring or control features. All adjustments must be made at the accessory or fixture level.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine poles treated with CCA preservative are designed for long service life in outdoor environments. The treatment process meets American Wood Preservers Association standards for decay and insect resistance. Proper direct burial installation and backfill are required to maintain structural integrity over time.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage, ground line decay, or environmental wear. The pole?s reliability is dependent on correct installation, site drainage, and adherence to load limits. Warranty coverage is 1 year from installation.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
Each pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification for Class 2 wood utility poles. Southern Yellow Pine provides a balance of strength, flexibility, and workability for field installation. The CCA treatment is pressure-applied for deep penetration and long-term protection.
Physical dimensions include a minimum 25 inch top circumference, 8 inch minimum top diameter, and 13.4 inch diameter 6 feet from the butt. Weight varies by pole but falls within the 2000?2400 lb range. Surface finish is debarked and treated, with no additional coatings applied.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 50 foot Class 2 wood pole is suited for outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting of lighting or utility equipment. Typical installations include sports fields, municipal sites, and rural properties where direct burial and wood construction are preferred.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- sports field lighting
- utility distribution
- municipal lighting
- area lighting
- parking lot lighting
- agricultural property lighting
The pole is designed for direct burial in soil. It is suitable for locations where corrosion resistance, height, and structural capacity are required. Not recommended for marine or high-salinity environments without additional protection.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires a 7 foot embedment below grade, with the remaining 43 feet above grade for mounting. Proper augering, backfill, and compaction are critical for stability. Lifting and setting require equipment rated for the pole?s weight and length.
Cross arms and brackets must be sized for the pole class and application. Periodic inspection at the ground line and above grade is recommended to monitor for decay, impact damage, or overloading. Long-term use depends on correct installation, drainage, and adherence to load ratings.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
50 foot wood poles are typically installed for sports field lighting layouts, with fixtures mounted at heights between 40 and 43 feet above grade. Spacing is determined by field size, light level requirements, and fixture beam spread. For utility distribution, poles are spaced according to line tension and clearance requirements.
Fixture count and cross arm configuration vary by project. Higher mounting heights reduce the number of poles needed for uniform coverage but may require larger fixtures or higher wattage. Excessive fixture loading can exceed pole EPA or weight limits and should be reviewed during planning.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards for wood utility poles. CCA treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association requirements. All poles are produced in the United States from Southern Yellow Pine.
Warranty is 1 year from installation. Safety during installation requires proper lifting, rigging, and adherence to OSHA and local standards. Periodic inspection is recommended for continued safe operation.
