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
This 70 foot wood utility pole is a Class 3 Southern Yellow Pine pole for direct burial structural installations. It provides 61 feet of above-grade height with a 9 foot buried depth.
The pole is CCA treated and manufactured to ANSI O5.1. It is commonly configured for sports field lighting and utility distribution where a tall direct-burial wood pole is required.
Core Performance and Output
This pole has a total height of 70 feet, a minimum top circumference of 23 inches, and a minimum circumference of 45 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. Minimum outside diameter is 7.3 inches at the top and 14.3 inches 6 feet from the butt.
Pole weight ranges from 3,000 to 3,600 pounds. Class 3 designation, pole dimensions, fixture configuration, and loading requirements must be reviewed together before installation.
Adjustability and Control Options
The pole itself does not provide lighting controls or adjustment features. Fixture aiming, electrical controls, and cross arm configuration are determined by the installed equipment and project design.
Optional 8 foot and 10 foot cross arms are available. Cross arm size and configuration depend on the selected pole height, pole class, and project requirements.
Longevity and Reliability
Southern Yellow Pine construction provides a conventional wood-pole structure for direct burial installations. The pole is treated with CCA preservatives to support resistance to rot and decay.
The warranty period is 1 year. Long-term condition depends on installation quality, soil conditions, buried depth, loading, and ongoing inspection.
Build Quality and Physical Characteristics
The pole is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States. It uses Southern Yellow Pine and has a direct burial installation design.
The 9 foot buried section establishes the listed 61 foot above-grade height. Handling equipment must account for the 3,000 to 3,600 pound pole weight and 70 foot overall length.
Where This Product Fits Best
This pole fits tall direct-burial installations supporting field lighting structures and utility distribution infrastructure. Its 61 foot above-grade height aligns with installations requiring elevated fixture or utility support.
- baseball field lighting
- football field lighting
- soccer field lighting
- softball field lighting
- sports field lighting
- driving range lighting
- utility distribution
CCA treatment and Southern Yellow Pine construction support outdoor direct-burial use. Final suitability depends on the required pole loading, attached equipment, cross arm configuration, and site conditions.
Installation and Long-Term Use
This pole is installed by direct burial with 9 feet below grade. The installation must maintain the listed burial depth to achieve the stated 61 foot above-grade height.
Lift planning, excavation, alignment, and attachment installation need to account for pole weight and overall length. Cross arm selection should be confirmed before field installation when cross arms are part of the project.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
For baseball field lighting, softball field lighting, soccer field lighting, football field lighting, and sports field lighting, the pole establishes a 61 foot above-grade support position. Pole placement follows the field lighting layout and required fixture orientation.
For driving range lighting and utility distribution, pole locations are established around the required coverage or distribution route. Layout varies with the attached equipment, cross arm configuration, and project loading requirements.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1. It is ANSI Class 3.
The pole carries a 1 year warranty. Direct burial depth, attachment loading, and installation conditions must be verified as part of the project design.
