Our 65 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 65 foot Class 1 CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine wood poles for large-scale outdoor lighting and utility distribution. This pole is designed for direct burial installation and meets ANSI O5.1 standards for structural performance and dimensional consistency. Typical use includes supporting sports field lighting or utility lines in municipal, rural, and recreational environments where tall, robust wood poles are required.
Each pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, debarked, and pressure-treated to resist rot and decay. The 65 foot length and Class 1 rating provide the structural capacity needed for high-mounting applications such as baseball, softball, and soccer field lighting, as well as utility distribution and area lighting in agricultural or municipal settings.
Core Performance and Output
This 65 foot wood pole is engineered for high structural loads and extended mounting heights. The Class 1 rating supports significant fixture weight and wind load, making it suitable for large sports lighting arrays or multi-circuit utility lines. Minimum pole top circumference is 27 inches, with a 49.5 inch minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt, ensuring strength throughout the pole?s length.
Direct burial installation at 8.5 feet below grade provides stability for exposed heights up to 56.5 feet. The CCA treatment protects against decay and insect damage, supporting long-term outdoor use. Excessive fixture EPA or mounting too many luminaires at the top may require additional engineering review to confirm wind load compliance.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole is supplied as a fixed, non-tapered wood structure. Cross arms are available as optional accessories and can be specified in 8-foot or 10-foot lengths based on project requirements. Cross arm configuration is determined by the number and type of fixtures or conductors to be supported.
No integrated electrical control or adjustment features are included. All fixture aiming, bracketry, and wiring must be field-installed according to project needs and local code.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its strength and durability in outdoor environments. CCA pressure treatment extends service life by protecting against rot, decay, and insect activity. When properly installed and maintained, these poles provide decades of reliable structural support.
Routine inspection for surface checking, hardware corrosion, and ground line decay is recommended. The pole is covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
Each pole weighs between 3,590 and 4,230 pounds, with a minimum top outside diameter of 8.6 inches and 15.8 inches at 6 feet from the butt. The wood is debarked and treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards. All poles are manufactured in the United States and comply with ANSI O5.1 for dimensional and structural requirements.
Direct burial installation eliminates the need for anchor bolts or base plates. The pole?s natural wood finish is compatible with most sports field and utility site aesthetics. Cross arms, if required, are sized to match pole height and class.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 65 foot Class 1 wood pole is suited for large outdoor sports fields, utility distribution, and municipal lighting projects requiring tall, structurally robust support. It is commonly used where high mounting heights and long spans are needed, such as baseball or soccer fields, rural roadways, and agricultural properties.
- baseball field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- sports field lighting
- utility distribution
- area lighting
- rural roadway lighting
- agricultural property lighting
- municipal lighting
CCA treatment and direct burial design allow for installation in a range of climates and soil conditions. The pole is not suitable for corrosive marine environments or locations requiring non-wood materials.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation requires excavation for direct burial to a depth of 8.5 feet. Proper tamping and backfill are critical for long-term stability. Lifting and setting the pole should be performed with appropriate rigging and equipment due to weight and length.
Cross arms and hardware must be installed per project requirements. Periodic inspection at the ground line and hardware attachment points is recommended to monitor for decay or mechanical wear. Replacement cycles are typically driven by site conditions and inspection findings.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Poles of this size are typically installed at sports fields or utility corridors with mounting heights up to 56.5 feet above grade. Fixture mounting patterns depend on field layout, aiming requirements, and wind load calculations. Spacing between poles is determined by lighting uniformity targets and structural considerations.
Higher mounting heights reduce the number of poles needed for large fields but may require larger fixtures or additional cross arms to achieve target light levels. Excessive fixture loading or non-standard bracketry should be reviewed for wind and structural compliance.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to American Wood Preservers Association specifications. CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and insects. All poles are produced in the United States and meet Class 1 structural requirements.
A 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects. Safety during installation requires proper lifting, rigging, and adherence to local codes for utility or lighting pole erection.
