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 wood light and utility pole is a Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct-burial installations. It provides 56.5 feet of height above grade with an 8.5-foot buried depth.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. Its size and above-grade height support sports field lighting and utility distribution layouts that require elevated fixture or cross-arm mounting positions.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is defined by the Class 3 rating, 65-foot overall length, pole taper, and direct-burial installation method. The pole weighs 2,700 to 3,200 pounds and has a minimum top outside diameter of 7.3 inches.
The minimum circumference is 23 inches at the pole top and 43.5 inches at six feet from the butt. Fixture loading, cross-arm configuration, wind exposure, and attachment loading must be evaluated for the installed layout because EPA ratings and fixture support limits are not provided.
Adjustability and Control Options
This pole does not include integrated lighting controls or electrical components. Control equipment is determined by the fixtures and electrical system installed on the pole.
Optional 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are available. Cross-arm sizing and configuration depend on the selected pole height, pole class, and project requirements.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine construction is CCA treated to help prevent rot and decay. Treatment is completed to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Long-term service depends on proper direct-burial installation, site conditions, loading, and inspection of attachments. The pole carries a 1-year warranty.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. It is constructed from Southern Yellow Pine and has a naturally tapered wood profile.
The pole measures 65 feet overall, with 56.5 feet above grade and 8.5 feet below grade. Its pole weight requires appropriate handling equipment during unloading and installation.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits elevated outdoor field lighting and utility distribution installations where direct burial is part of the structural design. The 56.5-foot above-grade height is suited to layouts requiring substantial fixture elevation.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- softball field lighting
- driving range lighting
- recreational field lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment supports outdoor wood-pole use where long-term resistance to rot and decay is required. Final structural suitability depends on the site, attachment loading, wind exposure, and direct-burial design.
Installation and Long-Term Use
The pole installs by direct burial with 8.5 feet below grade. The remaining 56.5 feet establishes the available mounting elevation above grade.
Installation crews need to account for the 2,700 to 3,200 pound pole weight, excavation requirements, lifting method, and final alignment. Cross arms, fixtures, electrical equipment, and attachment loading should be established before installation.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, soccer field lighting, football field lighting, and recreational field lighting, the pole provides an elevated location for lighting equipment. The 56.5-foot above-grade dimension affects fixture aiming, pole placement, and field layout.
For driving range lighting and utility distribution, cross arms may be used where required by the project configuration. Pole spacing and layout vary with the selected application, fixture arrangement, attachment loading, and required coverage.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. The wood treatment follows the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty period is 1 year. Direct-burial installation and attached equipment must be evaluated for the project load and site conditions.
