70 Foot Wood Pole | Class 2 | Treated | Southern Yellow Pine
This 70 foot Class 2 Southern Yellow Pine wood pole is a strong choice for projects needing tall, durable support for lighting or utility equipment, especially in large outdoor areas like sports fields, roadways, or utility distribution sites. Its CCA treatment resists rot and decay for long-term reliability in soil and moisture, while direct burial installation is practical where poured foundations are not feasible. The pole's ANSI O5.1 compliance and substantial cross-arm capacity support demanding loads and multiple fixtures.

Our 70 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 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 2 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct-burial structural installations. It provides 61 feet above grade with a 9-foot buried depth.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specifications. It is commonly used for sports field lighting structures, utility distribution, rural roadway lighting, and other tall pole installations within the listed application range.
Core Performance and Output
This pole has a Class 2 rating and a total weight range of 3,500 to 4,200 pounds. The minimum pole-top circumference is 25 inches, with a minimum diameter of 7.957 inches.
The minimum circumference 6 feet from the butt is 48 inches, with a minimum diameter of 15.279 inches. Structural loading, fixture weight, cross-arm configuration, and site conditions must be confirmed before installation.
Adjustability and Control Options
The pole uses a fixed direct-burial installation method. Its installed height is established by the 9-foot burial depth and 61-foot above-grade dimension.
Optional 8-foot and 10-foot cross arms are available. Cross-arm size and configuration depend on the project requirements and selected pole class.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine construction is CCA treated for rot and decay prevention. The treatment is applied to current American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Wood utility pole durability depends on proper direct-burial installation and ongoing site inspection. The supplied warranty period is 1 year.
