Our 65 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 prevent rot and decay. 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 a 65 foot Class 2 wood pole manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine, CCA treated for long-term durability. This pole is designed for direct burial installation and meets ANSI O5.1 standards. Typical use includes supporting sports field lighting and utility distribution in large outdoor environments where significant mounting height and structural capacity are required.
With a total length of 65 feet and a height above grade of 56.5 feet, this pole is suited for applications demanding elevated mounting for wide-area illumination or overhead utility lines. Cross arm accessories are available for field adaptation based on project requirements.
Core Performance and Output
This 65 foot Class 2 wood pole supports heavy fixture loads and large effective projected area (EPA) ratings, making it suitable for mounting multiple high-output sports lighting fixtures or utility hardware. The pole?s structural performance is defined by its minimum top circumference of 25 inches and a 6-foot-from-butt circumference of 46.5 inches, with a weight range of 3100?3670 lbs.
Direct burial installation provides stable anchoring for wind load resistance at tall mounting heights. The CCA treatment protects against rot and decay, supporting long-term use in exposed outdoor environments. At this height, pole deflection and wind-induced vibration should be considered in fixture selection and layout. Excessive fixture EPA or weight may require engineering review for safe installation.
Adjustability and Control Options
Cross arms are available as optional accessories in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths, allowing for flexible fixture mounting configurations. The pole can accommodate various bracket and hardware options for sports lighting or utility distribution, depending on project needs.
All mounting and accessory selections should be matched to the pole?s class, height, and load capacity. No integrated electrical or control features are included; all wiring and controls are field-installed according to application requirements.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its strength and resilience. CCA treatment extends service life by protecting against fungal decay and insect damage. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards, ensuring consistent quality and structural performance.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for mechanical damage, surface checking, or environmental wear over time. Proper installation and backfill are critical to long-term reliability, especially in areas with high wind or variable soil conditions.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. It features a minimum top outside diameter of 8 inches and a 6-foot-from-butt outside diameter of 14.8 inches. The total weight ranges from 3100 to 3670 lbs, depending on final dimensions and moisture content.
CCA treatment is applied to American Wood Preservers Association standards. The pole is designed for direct burial, with 8.5 feet below grade for stable support. Cross arms and mounting hardware are available for project-specific adaptation.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 65 foot Class 2 wood pole is intended for large-scale outdoor environments requiring elevated mounting for sports lighting or utility distribution. It is commonly used in:
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- area lighting
- utility distribution
- municipal lighting
CCA treatment and direct burial design allow for installation in a range of soil types and climates. The pole?s height and class support applications where high mounting and structural capacity are required for large-area illumination or overhead lines.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires excavation to a depth of 8.5 feet. Proper backfill and compaction are necessary for stability. The pole?s weight and length require appropriate lifting equipment and site access planning.
Cross arms and hardware should be selected based on fixture load, EPA, and mounting configuration. Periodic inspection is recommended to assess for surface checking, decay, or mechanical damage. CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to rot and insects, but environmental exposure and site conditions may affect service life.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
In sports field lighting, this pole is typically installed at the perimeter of baseball, football, or soccer fields to support multiple high-output floodlights. Mounting heights up to 56.5 feet above grade allow for wide-area coverage and uniform illumination. Spacing between poles is determined by field size, light level requirements, and fixture beam distribution.
For utility distribution, the pole supports overhead lines or equipment at elevated heights for clearances and safety. Higher mounting heights reduce the number of poles needed but may require larger fixtures or increased wattage to achieve target light levels. Fixture EPA and total weight must be coordinated with pole class and wind load requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards. CCA treatment is applied to American Wood Preservers Association specifications. The product includes a 1-year warranty.
All installation and handling should follow applicable safety guidelines for heavy timber poles. Lifting, setting, and backfilling require proper equipment and trained personnel. Cross arm and accessory installation must comply with structural and electrical codes.
