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
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 55-foot wood utility pole is a Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct-burial structural installations. It provides 47.5 feet above grade after the specified 7.5-foot burial depth.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Its size and Class 1 construction support sports field lighting layouts where elevated fixture mounting is required.
Core Performance and Output
This pole provides a 55-foot total length with a minimum top outside diameter of 8.6 inches and a minimum top circumference of 27 inches. The pole diameter measures 14.8 inches at 6 feet from the butt, with a minimum circumference of 46.5 inches at that point.
Pole weight ranges from 2,730 to 3,230 pounds. Structural layout must account for the installed fixture arrangement, cross arm configuration, and site loading requirements.
Adjustability and Control Options
This is a fixed-height direct-burial pole with 47.5 feet above grade. Height adjustment is not part of the installed configuration.
Optional 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are available. Cross arm configuration and size are determined by project requirements and the selected pole height and class.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine pole is treated with CCA preservatives for rot and decay prevention. Treatment is completed to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Wood poles require ongoing inspection of the exposed pole condition, ground line area, hardware, and fixture support assembly. The warranty is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. Southern Yellow Pine provides the wood material for the full pole structure.
Direct burial requires handling equipment suitable for the 2,730 to 3,230 pound pole weight. The 7.5-foot below-grade section is part of the specified installed geometry.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits elevated outdoor structural installations requiring a 47.5-foot above-grade mounting position. It is used for field and site lighting support where direct burial is part of the project design.
- football field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- softball field lighting
- driving range lighting
- recreational field lighting
- rural roadway lighting
The CCA treatment addresses rot and decay prevention. Site conditions, fixture arrangement, cross arms, and structural loading remain project-specific considerations.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole installs by direct burial with 7.5 feet below grade and 47.5 feet above grade. Installation requires excavation, lifting, placement, alignment, and backfill work appropriate for the pole weight and length.
Long-term maintenance should include review of the pole surface, treatment condition, ground line area, cross arms, and attached lighting hardware. Field-installed hardware must remain matched to the project configuration.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For football field lighting, baseball field lighting, soccer field lighting, and softball field lighting, the 47.5-foot above-grade height places fixture assemblies above the field area. Cross arms can be incorporated where the project layout requires multiple fixture positions.
Driving range lighting, recreational field lighting, and rural roadway lighting installations use direct-burial pole placement based on the required lighting layout. Pole spacing and fixture arrangement vary with project light levels, fixture selection, and site layout requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. The pole uses CCA treatment and Southern Yellow Pine material.
The warranty is 1 year. Installation and attached hardware must be evaluated for the final project conditions.
