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 forklift 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 support. It provides 61 feet above grade after the specified 9 foot burial depth.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Its size and installed height support sports field lighting and utility distribution layouts that require elevated fixture or line support.
Core Performance and Output
Structural performance is based on a 70 foot overall length, Class 2 construction, and direct-burial installation. The pole has a minimum top circumference of 25 inches and a minimum circumference of 48 inches at 6 feet from the butt.
The minimum top outside diameter is 7.957 inches, and the outside diameter at 6 feet from the butt is 15.279 inches. Pole weight ranges from 3,500 to 4,200 pounds, which affects unloading, handling, and installation equipment requirements.
The 61 foot above-grade height is suited to elevated sports field lighting layouts. Fixture loading, cross arm configuration, and project-specific structural requirements need to be established before installation.
Adjustability and Control Options
Optional 8 foot and 10 foot cross arms are available for Southern Yellow Pine poles. Cross arm configuration and sizing are determined by project requirements and the selected pole height and class.
This pole uses direct burial rather than a base-mounted installation method. The supplied product data does not identify lighting controls or integrated electrical components.
Longevity and Reliability
The Southern Yellow Pine construction is CCA treated for rot and decay resistance. The poles are grown, debarked, and treated in the United States.
Long-term performance depends on correct direct-burial installation and the installed loading condition. The treatment is applied to American Wood Preservers Association standards.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
This pole is constructed from Southern Yellow Pine and has a 70 foot total length. The specified burial depth is 9 feet, leaving 61 feet above grade.
Its minimum pole top circumference is 25 inches, with a minimum 48 inch circumference at 6 feet from the butt. The pole’s 3,500 to 4,200 pound weight requires appropriate lifting and setting equipment during installation.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits elevated outdoor support layouts for sports fields and utility distribution. Its 61 foot above-grade height and direct-burial construction align with projects requiring tall wood pole structures.
- football field lighting
- baseball field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment addresses rot and decay exposure associated with outdoor wood pole installations. Final fit depends on the required fixture or line loading, cross arm configuration, and direct-burial installation conditions.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed by direct burial with 9 feet below grade. The remaining 61 feet above grade establishes the available mounting elevation for the project.
Installation requires handling equipment suitable for a pole weighing up to 4,200 pounds. Cross arm sizing and configuration should be established before the pole is set.
Long-term use depends on maintaining the intended structural loading and installed configuration. Changes to fixture arrangement or utility distribution hardware can affect the required cross arm configuration.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For football field lighting, baseball field lighting, soccer field lighting, and sports field lighting, the pole is set with its specified 9 foot burial depth to provide 61 feet of above-grade mounting height. Cross arms may be added where the project requires them.
Driving range lighting and utility distribution installations use the pole as an elevated support structure. Layout requirements, fixture loading, and cross arm configuration vary by project.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. The preservative treatment is applied to American Wood Preservers Association standards.
The warranty period is 1 year. Direct-burial installation must maintain the specified 9 foot burial depth.
