Our 55 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
These 55 ft wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields or used as utility poles. You can add 1-2 light arms per side, 2-4 in total, but no more than 2 per side. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs per arm. The number of arms and lights depends on the class of the utility pole you select. The pole length will determine how significant the taper is as with all timber utility poles.
Options Available:
Cross Arms (2-4 per pole, 1-2 per side) and Mounting Brackets. The customer is responsible for mounting Cross Arm after the poles are delivered. Poles do not ship with cross arms attached.
These are the lights we typically mount on the cross arms. Up to 6 lights per arm, not to exceed 240 total pounds of fixtures and hardware.
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-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 is a 55-foot Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine wood pole, CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. The pole has a total height of 55 feet with 47.5 feet above grade and 7.5 feet buried below grade for direct burial installation. Pole weight ranges from 2,730 to 3,230 pounds depending on natural wood density variation.
The pole tapers from a minimum circumference of 46.5 inches at 6 feet from the butt (14.801 inches diameter) to a minimum circumference of 27 inches at the top (8.594 inches diameter). Southern Yellow Pine is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. CCA treatment is applied to American Wood Preservers Association standards for rot and decay prevention.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole is used for sports field lighting, baseball field lighting, and general utility pole applications where a 47.5-foot above-grade mounting height is appropriate. The Class 1 rating and cross arm capacity support multi-fixture installations at heights typical for athletic field illumination.
Direct burial installation requires appropriate ground conditions and equipment capable of handling pole weights up to 3,230 pounds. Sites with rocky soil, high water tables, or restricted equipment access may require additional site preparation or alternative foundation methods not covered by this pole configuration.
Performance and Functional Considerations
Class 1 designation under ANSI O5.1 defines the load-bearing capacity of this pole. The pole supports 2 to 4 cross arms total, with a maximum of 2 cross arms per side. Each cross arm is rated for 240 pounds of attached weight, which includes fixtures, hardware, and any additional mounting components.
The taper from butt to top is characteristic of natural timber utility poles. Minimum diameter specifications ensure consistent structural performance across poles cut from different trees. The 7.5-foot burial depth provides the structural anchorage required for the above-grade height and rated cross arm loading.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is designed for direct burial installation. The 7.5-foot burial depth is part of the engineered height allocation and should not be modified. Poles ship without cross arms attached. Cross arm installation is the responsibility of the installer after the pole is set.
CCA treatment extends the service life of the pole by protecting against rot, decay, and insect damage. Long-term durability under typical outdoor exposure is one of the primary functional characteristics of treated Southern Yellow Pine. Periodic inspection of pole condition, cross arm connections, and fixture mounting hardware is standard practice for wood pole installations.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Once installed, this pole provides a stable mounting platform for sports lighting and area lighting applications. The 1-2 cross arms per side configuration allows fixtures to be positioned at different orientations around the pole to achieve the desired coverage pattern for the field or area below.
Each cross arm supports up to 240 pounds, which typically accommodates up to 6 fixtures per arm depending on individual fixture weight and mounting hardware. Fixture count and placement are determined by the lighting design for the specific field or facility. Adjustments to aiming and fixture positioning are made at the cross arm and fixture mount level, not at the pole structure.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. CCA treatment follows American Wood Preservers Association standards.
This product includes a 1-year warranty.
