Our 50 foot Class 3 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 utility pole is a Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct-burial sports field and utility distribution installations. 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 above-grade height support elevated lighting layouts for baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, soccer field lighting, football field lighting, and sports field lighting.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is defined by the Class 3 pole classification, 50-foot overall length, and direct-burial installation. Pole weight ranges from 1,760 to 2,100 pounds.
The minimum pole-top outside diameter is 7.3 inches, and the outside diameter 6 feet from the butt is 12.4 inches. The pole top has a minimum 23-inch circumference, while the circumference 6 feet from the butt is at least 39 inches.
The 43-foot above-grade height establishes the usable mounting elevation after burial. Fixture weight, cross arm configuration, wind exposure, and project loading requirements must be evaluated for the planned installation.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole has a fixed 50-foot overall length and a fixed 43-foot above-grade height when installed with the specified 7-foot burial depth. Height adjustment is not part of the pole design.
Optional 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are available. Cross arm sizing and configuration depend on the project requirements and the selected pole height and class.
Longevity and Reliability
The pole is made from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA preservatives. The treatment is intended to prevent rot and decay during long-term outdoor use.
The wood is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Treatment follows the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This is a wood pole with a 50-foot total height, Class 3 construction, and direct-burial installation method. The 7-foot below-grade section leaves 43 feet above grade.
Pole dimensions vary from the top to the butt section, with a larger diameter and circumference near the buried end. Site access and lifting equipment must account for the 1,760 to 2,100 pound pole weight.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits elevated outdoor lighting and utility distribution layouts that require a direct-buried wood structure with 43 feet above grade. Its primary use aligns with field lighting installations requiring multi-fixture or cross arm arrangements.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- softball field lighting
- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- recreational field lighting
- utility distribution
CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine construction supports outdoor installation conditions where rot and decay prevention are required. Final structural configuration depends on the installed fixtures, cross arms, and project loading requirements.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole installs by direct burial with 7 feet below grade. The remaining 43 feet above grade establishes the installed mounting elevation.
Installation requires handling equipment suitable for the pole weight and length. The burial depth, pole orientation, cross arm arrangement, and fixture mounting configuration must match the project design.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For sports field lighting, the pole provides a 43-foot above-grade mounting position after direct burial. Cross arms can be used where the lighting layout requires multiple fixture mounting positions.
Driving range lighting and recreational field lighting layouts may use the available 8-foot or 10-foot cross arms when the project calls for those configurations. Cross arm size depends on the planned fixture arrangement and pole class.
Utility distribution installations use the direct-buried pole structure and project-specific cross arm configuration. Wider fixture or equipment arrangements affect loading and must be evaluated as part of the installation design.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. CCA treatment follows the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty period is 1 year. Direct-burial installation requires proper handling and installation practices for the pole weight, length, and below-grade section.
