Our 65 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 65 foot Class 3 wood pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA preservative for long-term durability. Designed for direct burial installation, it is suitable for large-scale outdoor lighting and utility distribution projects. The pole meets ANSI O5.1 standards and is commonly specified for sports field lighting and utility infrastructure 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 typically used in applications demanding elevated mounting for wide-area illumination or overhead utility lines. Optional cross arms are available to support multiple luminaires or conductors, depending on project requirements.
Core Performance and Output
This Class 3 wood pole supports substantial fixture and cross arm loads, with a weight range of 2700?3200 lbs and a minimum top circumference of 23 inches. The pole?s structural capacity is suitable for mounting multiple high-output sports lighting fixtures or utility hardware at heights up to 56.5 feet above grade. EPA (Effective Projected Area) and wind load performance are consistent with ANSI O5.1 requirements for this class and height.
Direct burial installation provides stable anchoring, but site-specific soil conditions and wind exposure must be evaluated to confirm suitability. Excessive fixture weight or large cross arm assemblies may require engineering review to ensure compliance with structural limits and local codes.
Adjustability and Control Options
Cross arms are available as optional accessories in 8-foot and 10-foot lengths, allowing for flexible luminaire or conductor mounting configurations. The pole itself does not include integrated adjustability or control features; all fixture aiming and orientation must be managed through the selected cross arm and bracket hardware.
Control systems, such as lighting contactors or remote switching, are typically mounted at ground level or within adjacent enclosures. The pole provides the structural support required for these systems but does not include integrated wiring or control provisions.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine is selected for its strength and durability in outdoor environments. CCA treatment to AWPA standards provides resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage, supporting long service life in exposed conditions. The pole is manufactured and treated in the United States, ensuring consistent quality and compliance with industry standards.
Routine inspection is recommended to monitor for surface checking, weathering, or mechanical damage over time. Proper installation and backfill are critical to long-term performance, especially in areas with high wind or variable soil conditions.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole features a minimum top outside diameter of 7.3 inches and a minimum circumference of 43.5 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. The total weight range of 2700?3200 lbs reflects the density and size of the Southern Yellow Pine material. All poles are debarked, shaped, and treated to meet ANSI O5.1 specifications for Class 3 utility poles.
CCA preservative treatment is applied to the latest AWPA standards, providing deep penetration and long-term protection. The pole is intended for direct burial, with 8.5 feet below grade to ensure stability and load transfer.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 65 foot Class 3 wood pole is designed for large-scale outdoor lighting and utility distribution in environments requiring elevated mounting heights and robust structural support. It is commonly used in:
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- sports field lighting
- utility distribution
- area lighting
- parking lot lighting
- municipal lighting
- rural roadway lighting
The pole?s treated wood construction and direct burial design make it suitable for exposed outdoor locations, including sports complexes, municipal fields, and rural infrastructure projects. CCA treatment supports long-term use in variable weather and soil conditions.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Direct burial installation requires excavation to a depth of 8.5 feet, with proper backfill and compaction to ensure stability. Lifting and setting the pole typically requires a crane or specialized equipment due to its weight and length. Cross arms and hardware must be selected and installed according to project requirements and local codes.
Long-term maintenance includes periodic inspection for surface weathering, mechanical damage, or signs of decay at ground line. Replacement or reinforcement may be required if significant deterioration is observed over time. CCA treatment reduces the risk of rot and insect damage, but site conditions and installation quality remain critical to service life.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Poles of this size are typically installed at sports fields, parking lots, or along rural roadways, with mounting heights up to 56.5 feet above grade. Fixture mounting patterns depend on the number and type of luminaires or utility hardware required, with cross arms used to support multiple fixtures or conductors. Spacing between poles is determined by lighting layout, field size, and required uniformity.
Higher mounting heights reduce the number of poles needed for large area coverage but may require larger fixtures and careful aiming to control glare and spill light. Engineering review is recommended for projects with high wind exposure or complex loading requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards and treated to AWPA specifications. CCA treatment provides resistance to rot and decay. The product includes a 1-year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects. All handling and installation must comply with OSHA and local safety regulations due to the pole?s size and weight.
Optional cross arms are available and must be specified to match the pole?s class and height. All accessories should be installed according to manufacturer and code requirements.
