55 Foot Wood Pole | Class 2 | Treated | Southern Yellow Pine
This 55 foot Southern Yellow Pine wood pole is a strong choice for outdoor utility support thanks to its ANSI Class 2 rating, CCA treatment for rot and decay resistance, and compliance with AWPA standards. With 47.5 feet above grade and direct burial installation, it provides reliable height and stability for power distribution and infrastructure projects. The substantial pole circumference and weight support demanding loads, while the availability of cross arms allows for tailored configurations. This pole is particularly well suited for power distribution lines and outdoor infrastructure where durability and compliance with industry standards are critical.

Our 55 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
This 55 foot wood utility pole is a Class 2 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installations. It provides 47.5 feet above grade after the specified 7.5 foot burial depth.
The pole is used for sports field lighting structures where fixture mounting height and cross arm configuration are established by the project layout. It is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is based on the Class 2 pole classification, 55 foot overall length, and direct burial installation method. The pole has a minimum top diameter of 8 inches and a 13.8 inch outside diameter measured 6 feet from the butt.
Pole weight ranges from 2,385 to 2,815 pounds. Fixture loading, cross arm configuration, wind conditions, and mounting hardware must be evaluated as part of the structural design.
The 47.5 foot above-grade height supports elevated sports lighting layouts. Final fixture support capacity is not established by the supplied product data.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole does not include lighting controls or electrical components. Controls are determined by the fixtures and electrical system installed on the pole.
Optional 8 foot and 10 foot cross arms are available. Cross arm sizing and configuration depend on project requirements and the selected pole height and class.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine construction is CCA treated. The treatment follows current American Wood Preservers Association standards for rot and decay prevention.
Long-term service depends on proper direct burial installation, site conditions, loading, and ongoing inspection of the pole and mounted equipment. The warranty is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. It is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and has a minimum top circumference of 25 inches.
Minimum circumference measured 6 feet from the butt is 43.5 inches. Total pole length is 55 feet, with 7.5 feet below grade and 47.5 feet above grade.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits outdoor sports field lighting projects requiring a direct-buried wood support structure with 47.5 feet above grade. The Class 2 construction is intended for layouts that require elevated fixture and cross arm mounting.
- baseball field lighting
- softball field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- football field lighting
- driving range lighting
- recreational field lighting
CCA treatment supports outdoor use where wood poles are exposed to weather and ground contact. Project structural requirements must account for mounted fixture equipment, cross arms, and site loading conditions.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed by direct burial with 7.5 feet below grade. The finished above-grade height is 47.5 feet.
Installation requires handling equipment appropriate for the 2,385 to 2,815 pound pole weight. The pole must be set and aligned before fixture assemblies, cross arms, and electrical equipment are installed.
Long-term maintenance should include inspection of the exposed pole, mounted equipment, and cross arm assemblies. Changes to fixture loading or cross arm configuration should be reviewed against project structural requirements.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
The pole is commonly deployed for baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, soccer field lighting, and football field lighting where elevated mounting positions are part of the field layout. Its 47.5 foot above-grade height establishes the available fixture mounting elevation.
Driving range lighting and recreational field lighting layouts can use the same direct-buried pole configuration. Pole placement follows the project lighting layout and the required fixture and cross arm arrangement.
Higher fixture mounting positions can reduce the number of pole locations in a layout, but fixture aiming, loading, and cross arm configuration still need project-specific review.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. CCA treatment follows current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty is 1 year. Direct burial installation, mounted fixture loading, and cross arm configuration must be addressed within the project design.
