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
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 is a 70-foot Class 3 wood utility pole manufactured from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA preservative. The pole stands 61 feet above grade when installed, with 9 feet of direct burial depth below grade. Total pole weight ranges from 3,000 to 3,600 pounds.
The pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification and treated to American Wood Preservers Association standards for rot and decay prevention. Southern Yellow Pine is grown, debarked, and treated in the United States.
Minimum circumference at the pole top is 23 inches, with a minimum circumference of 45 inches measured 6 feet from the butt. Minimum top diameter is 7.321 inches, and minimum diameter 6 feet from the butt is 14.324 inches.
Where This Product Fits Best
This 70-foot pole is sized for sports field lighting, baseball field installations, and utility applications where significant above-grade height is required. The 61-foot exposed height provides the elevation needed for area lighting coverage across large outdoor spaces.
Class 3 designation establishes the load-bearing capacity and taper characteristics. Sites requiring mounting of multiple fixtures across wide coverage areas should evaluate whether Class 3 strength is appropriate for the intended fixture count and arm configuration.
Performance and Functional Considerations
The pole accepts 2 to 6 cross arms total, with a maximum of 3 arms per side. Each cross arm supports up to 240 pounds of combined fixture and hardware weight. Arm and fixture quantity must be planned against Class 3 load capacity.
CCA treatment provides long-term resistance to rot and decay, which is a primary factor in wood utility pole durability. The taper from butt to top is characteristic of timber utility poles and becomes more pronounced at this length.
Poles ship without cross arms attached. Cross arm installation is the responsibility of the customer or installer after delivery.
Installation and Long-Term Use
Installation method is direct burial with 9 feet of pole set below grade. Equipment capable of handling 3,000 to 3,600 pounds is required for pole placement. Site preparation must account for burial depth and soil conditions.
Cross arms and mounting brackets are available separately and must be installed after pole delivery. Each arm accommodates up to 6 light fixtures, provided the total weight on that arm does not exceed 240 pounds including all hardware.
How This Fixture Is Commonly Used
Facilities typically use this pole for sports field and baseball field lighting where above-grade height of 61 feet is needed to achieve proper light distribution across the playing surface. Utility applications also use this pole class and height where overhead clearance and reach are required.
Once installed, the pole serves as a permanent mounting structure. Fixture changes, re-lamping, or arm adjustments require lift equipment capable of reaching the installed arm heights. Planning for long-term maintenance access is part of site design when specifying poles at this height.
Safety, Certifications, and Warranty
This pole is manufactured to ANSI O5.1 specification. Preservative treatment meets American Wood Preservers Association standards.
This product includes a 1-year warranty.
