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
These 70 ft wood poles are perfect for sports fields, baseball fields or used as utility poles. You can add 1-3 light arms per side, 2-6 in total, but no more than 3 per side. Each arm can accommodate 240 lbs per arm. The number of arms and lights depends on the class of the utility pole you select. The pole length will determine how significant the taper is as with all timber utility poles.
Options Available:
Cross Arms (2-6 per pole, 1-3 per side) and Mounting Brackets. The customer is responsible for mounting Cross Arm after the poles are delivered. Poles do not ship with cross arms attached.
These are the lights we typically mount on the cross arms. Up to 6 lights per arm, not to exceed 240 total pounds of fixtures and hardware.
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-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 Class 2 wood pole is manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA preservative. The pole is designed for direct burial installation with 9 feet set below grade, leaving 61 feet of usable height above ground.
The pole weighs between 3,500 and 4,200 pounds and tapers from a minimum circumference of 48 inches at 6 feet from the butt to 25 inches at the top. This translates to minimum diameters of 15.279 inches near the base and 7.957 inches at the top.
Manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification, the pole is grown, debarked, and treated domestically. CCA treatment follows current American Wood Preservers Association standards for rot and decay prevention.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole height and class combination is suited for sports field lighting, baseball field lighting, and utility applications where substantial above-grade height is required. The 61-foot above-grade exposure provides clearance for elevated mounting positions common in athletic venue lighting layouts.
The Class 2 rating and associated load capacity make this pole appropriate for installations requiring multiple cross arms and fixtures. The direct burial installation method eliminates the need for a separate foundation or base structure.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The Class 2 ANSI rating defines the structural strength and load-bearing capacity of this pole. This classification determines how many cross arms and fixtures the pole can support under specified wind and load conditions.
Cross arm capacity is limited to 1 to 3 arms per side, with a maximum of 6 arms total across the pole. Each arm supports up to 240 pounds of combined fixture and hardware weight. Fixture quantity per arm depends on individual fixture weight but must not exceed this 240-pound limit.
The taper from base to top is characteristic of all timber utility poles and becomes more pronounced at this length. Minimum circumference and diameter specifications represent the smallest allowable dimensions at the stated measurement points.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation requires direct burial to a depth of 9 feet. Pole weight of 3,500 to 4,200 pounds requires appropriate lifting and setting equipment during installation.
Cross arms are available but ship separately and are not attached to the pole at delivery. The customer or installer is responsible for mounting cross arms after the pole is set. Mounting brackets are also available as an option.
CCA treatment provides long-term protection against rot and decay. The preservative treatment extends the service life of the pole in buried and above-grade exposure conditions.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Installers configure these poles with cross arms arranged to achieve the desired fixture spread for the application. Arm placement and quantity are determined during site layout based on coverage requirements and the structural limits of the pole class.
Fixture mounting on cross arms must account for the 240-pound-per-arm weight limit. When using multiple fixtures per arm, total weight including mounting hardware must remain within this capacity. Up to 6 fixtures can be mounted per arm when individual fixture weight allows.
The 61-foot above-grade height positions fixtures high enough for typical sports field throw distances. Fixture aiming and final positioning occur after arm installation and pole setting.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Preservative treatment conforms to American Wood Preservers Association standards.
This product includes a 1-year warranty.
