Our 60 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
We supply 60 foot Class 1 wood poles manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, CCA treated for long-term durability. These poles are designed for direct burial installation and are commonly specified for large-scale outdoor lighting and utility distribution projects. Typical use includes sports field lighting and utility infrastructure where tall mounting heights and robust structural performance are required.
This pole meets ANSI O5.1 standards and is produced in the United States. It is suitable for applications demanding high strength and reliable performance in exposed environments. Cross arm options are available to support various fixture and distribution configurations.
Core Performance and Output
This 60 foot Class 1 wood pole supports mounting heights up to 52 feet above grade, with 8 feet of direct burial for structural stability. The pole is engineered for heavy-duty use, with a minimum top circumference of 27 inches and a 6-foot-from-butt circumference of 48 inches. Weight ranges from 3160 to 3730 lbs, supporting substantial fixture loads and cross arm assemblies.
Class 1 rating provides high strength and load capacity for demanding lighting and utility applications. CCA treatment ensures resistance to rot and decay in outdoor environments. At this height, wind load and EPA calculations must be confirmed for each project. Excessive fixture weight or surface area may require additional engineering review.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole is supplied as a fixed structural element. Height, burial depth, and orientation are determined at installation. Cross arms are available in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths to accommodate different fixture layouts and distribution requirements.
No integrated electrical or lighting controls are included with the pole. Fixture and control system selection is determined by project needs and must be specified separately. Pole drilling and cross arm mounting patterns are configured per application.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its structural integrity and long service life in utility and sports lighting installations. CCA treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association standards for decay and insect resistance. Proper installation and burial depth are critical for long-term reliability.
Routine inspection of pole condition, especially at ground line, is recommended over the service life. Warranty coverage is 1 year. Actual lifespan is determined by site conditions, maintenance, and environmental exposure.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. Minimum top outside diameter is 8.6 inches, with 15.3 inches outside diameter 6 feet from the butt. Each pole is debarked, shaped, and treated in the United States. Weight and dimensions may vary within the specified range due to natural wood variation.
Direct burial installation is standard. CCA treatment provides protection against rot, decay, and insect attack. Cross arm options are available and sized to match pole class and height. All hardware and accessories must be compatible with wood pole construction.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 60 foot Class 1 wood pole is suited for large outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting heights and robust structural support. Typical installations include sports fields, utility distribution, and rural area lighting where steel or concrete poles are not preferred.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- sports field lighting
- utility distribution
- area lighting
- municipal lighting
- parking lot lighting
- agricultural property lighting
CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine construction is suitable for outdoor use in most climates. Not recommended for marine or corrosive coastal environments without additional protection.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires excavation to a depth of 8 feet. Pole orientation and alignment must be set prior to backfilling. All mounting hardware, cross arms, and fixtures should be installed per engineering requirements and local codes.
Periodic inspection is recommended, especially at ground line and attachment points. Cross arm and fixture loads must be confirmed to remain within pole class limits. Replacement or reinforcement may be required if site conditions change or loads increase over time.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
60 foot wood poles are typically installed for sports field lighting and utility distribution where high mounting heights are needed. Fixture mounting heights up to 52 feet above grade are standard. Spacing between poles is determined by lighting layout, field size, and required uniformity.
For sports lighting, poles are often spaced around the perimeter of the field, with cross arms supporting multiple fixtures. Higher mounting heights reduce glare and improve light distribution but may require fewer poles. Wind load and fixture EPA must be evaluated for each installation.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards. CCA treatment complies with American Wood Preservers Association requirements. All poles are produced in the United States and meet industry standards for strength and durability.
Warranty is 1 year. All installation and use must comply with local codes and engineering guidelines. Cross arm and accessory selection must be compatible with pole class and application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum fixture load this 60 foot Class 1 wood pole can support?
A: Fixture load capacity depends on pole class, mounting height, wind load, and EPA calculations. Engineering review is required for each project to confirm allowable loads.
Q: What is the required burial depth for installation?
A: The standard burial depth for this pole is 8 feet below grade, resulting in 52 feet above grade height.
Q: Are cross arms included with the pole?
A: Cross arms are available as optional accessories in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths. Selection depends on fixture layout and project requirements.
Q: Is this pole suitable for coastal or marine environments?
A: This pole is not recommended for marine or corrosive coastal environments without additional protection or treatment.
Q: How should pole spacing be determined for sports field lighting?
