70 Foot Wood Pole | Class 1 | Treated | Southern Yellow Pine
This 70 foot Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine utility pole is a strong choice for large-scale outdoor lighting or utility projects requiring significant height and load capacity. Its CCA treatment protects against rot and decay, making it reliable for long-term use in exposed environments. The direct burial design simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate foundations, and the ANSI O5.1 certification ensures structural integrity. This pole is particularly well-suited for sports complexes, industrial yards, distribution centers, and major roadways.

Our 70 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
This 70 foot wood utility pole is a Class 1 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial installation. It provides 61 feet above grade with a 9 foot embedded section.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. Its size and Class 1 construction support sports field lighting and utility distribution installations that require a tall wood pole structure.
Core Performance and Output
This pole has a total height of 70 feet, a minimum top circumference of 27 inches, and a minimum circumference of 51 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. Minimum outside diameter is 8.6 inches at the top and 16.2 inches 6 feet from the butt.
Pole weight ranges from 4,000 to 4,800 pounds. Direct burial depth is fixed at 9 feet for the stated 61 foot above-grade height, so site conditions and equipment access need to support handling and installation of the full pole length.
Adjustability and Control Options
Optional 8 foot and 10 foot cross arms are available for this Southern Yellow Pine pole. Cross arm selection depends on the selected pole height, ANSI class, and project requirements.
The supplied product information does not identify lighting controls, electrical components, or fixture mounting hardware. Cross arm configuration should be established before installation.
Longevity and Reliability
The pole is treated with CCA preservatives for rot and decay prevention. Treatment is performed to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Southern Yellow Pine is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. The warranty term is 1 year.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
Construction is Southern Yellow Pine wood with Class 1 ANSI classification. The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications.
The tapered wood profile measures at least 8.6 inches outside diameter at the top and 16.2 inches outside diameter 6 feet from the butt. The pole is intended for direct burial rather than base mounting.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits tall outdoor support installations where direct burial wood poles are used for sports field lighting or utility distribution. The 61 foot above-grade height aligns with large field layouts that need elevated fixture support.
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- softball field lighting
- driving range lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment supports outdoor exposure by addressing rot and decay. Installation requires a 9 foot burial depth and site access for a pole weighing up to 4,800 pounds.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole installs by direct burial with 9 feet below grade and 61 feet remaining above grade. Handling, setting, and alignment require equipment suitable for the pole’s 4,000 to 4,800 pound weight.
Cross arms can be included where the project requires them. Final layout depends on field dimensions, fixture arrangement, cross arm configuration, and required light distribution.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For football field lighting, soccer field lighting, baseball field lighting, and softball field lighting, the pole provides 61 feet of mounting elevation above grade. Pole locations are arranged around the field layout and lighting design.
Driving range lighting and utility distribution installations use the same direct burial structure. Higher mounting elevation can reduce the number of pole locations, but fixture aiming and layout requirements still determine final placement.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. CCA treatment is performed to the latest American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty is 1 year. Direct burial installation requires the specified 9 foot below-grade depth.
