Our 70 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
The 70 Foot Wood Pole, Class 3, is crafted from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA for enhanced durability. Designed for direct burial installation, this pole is suitable for various utility and sports lighting applications. With a total height of 70 feet and 61 feet above grade, it is ideal for environments requiring substantial elevation, such as sports fields and utility distribution.
Manufactured to ANSI O5.1 standards, this pole offers reliable performance in outdoor settings. Its robust construction ensures long-term stability, making it a dependable choice for installations where height and strength are critical. Cross arm options are available to accommodate specific project needs.
Core Performance and Output
This wood pole provides a structural solution with a focus on height and load-bearing capacity. With a buried depth of 9 feet, it offers stability and support for lighting fixtures in demanding environments. The pole's weight ranges from 3000 to 3600 lbs, ensuring it can withstand significant wind loads and environmental stresses.
The Class 3 rating indicates its suitability for applications requiring moderate to high structural demands. The pole's dimensions, including a minimum top circumference of 23 inches and a 6-foot-from-butt circumference of 45 inches, contribute to its robust performance. It is important to consider the pole's height and weight when planning installations to ensure compatibility with site-specific conditions.
Adjustability and Control Options
This wood pole does not include integrated adjustability or control options. However, cross arms can be configured to meet specific project requirements, allowing for flexibility in lighting fixture placement and orientation. The choice of cross arm length, either 8-foot or 10-foot, can be tailored to the lighting design and distribution needs.
While the pole itself is fixed, the ability to customize cross arm configurations provides some level of adaptability for different lighting applications. This feature is particularly useful in sports field lighting where precise fixture positioning is crucial for optimal illumination.
