Our 55 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 55-foot wood utility pole is a Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct-burial structural installations. It provides 47.5 feet of height above grade with a 7.5-foot buried section.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. It is used where a tall wood pole structure is required for sports field lighting, utility distribution, and related outdoor installations.
Core Performance and Output
This pole has a 55-foot total length, a minimum top circumference of 23 inches, and a minimum circumference of 40.5 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. Minimum outside diameter is 7.3 inches at the top and 12.9 inches 6 feet from the butt.
Pole weight ranges from 2,070 to 2,440 pounds. Structural planning must account for the Class 3 pole designation, direct-burial depth, attached equipment, and site wind conditions.
Adjustability and Control Options
The pole height and buried depth are fixed by its 55-foot construction. The installed above-grade height is 47.5 feet when buried at the specified 7.5-foot depth.
Optional 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are available. Cross arm configuration and sizing are determined by project requirements and the selected pole height and class.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine is CCA treated for rot and decay prevention. The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States.
Wood pole condition should be reviewed during routine site maintenance, including inspection of the exposed pole section, hardware, cross arms, and buried-area transition.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This is a Southern Yellow Pine wood pole with a Class 3 ANSI rating. The treated wood construction is intended for direct-burial installation.
The pole weighs 2,070 to 2,440 pounds, so handling and placement require appropriate lifting equipment. Installation crews need to account for the full pole length and the 7.5-foot burial section before excavation and setting.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits outdoor projects requiring a tall direct-burial wood structure for sports field lighting or utility distribution. Its 47.5-foot above-grade height supports elevated equipment placement where the site design calls for a 55-foot pole.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- area lighting
- utility distribution
CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine construction supports outdoor direct-burial use. Final pole selection must account for site loading, attached equipment, burial conditions, and local installation requirements.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole installs by direct burial with 7.5 feet below grade and 47.5 feet above grade. The excavation, pole handling method, setting equipment, and backfill approach need to suit the pole weight and site conditions.
Cross arms, when used, should be selected as either 8-foot or 10-foot assemblies based on project requirements. Long-term maintenance should include inspection of the pole, treatment condition, attached hardware, and cross arm assembly.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, football field lighting, soccer field lighting, and sports field lighting, the pole provides a 47.5-foot mounting elevation above grade. Pole placement follows the lighting layout and field geometry established for the project.
Driving range lighting, area lighting, and utility distribution installations use pole locations based on coverage needs, equipment arrangement, and routing requirements. Higher mounting elevation can reduce the number of pole locations, but final placement depends on the project layout and attached equipment.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. The wood is treated with preservatives to American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty is 1 year. Installation and servicing require appropriate equipment for the 2,070 to 2,440 pound pole weight.
