10 Foot Wood Crossarm | Treated | Southern Yellow Pine | 4 in x 6 in x 10 ft | Hardware Included

Product Overview

This 10 Foot Wood Crossarm is designed for use in utility pole mounting and electrical distribution systems. Manufactured from CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine, it provides structural support for overhead lines and equipment in outdoor environments. The crossarm measures 4 inches by 6 inches in cross-section and is supplied with V-mounting brackets and a through bolt for secure attachment to wood utility poles.

Typical installations include utility distribution lines, municipal lighting circuits, and sports field lighting structures where wood pole assemblies are required. The 10-foot length and included hardware support standard crossarm configurations for both new construction and replacement projects.

Core Performance and Output

This crossarm is engineered for structural load-bearing in utility and lighting pole assemblies. The Southern Yellow Pine construction, treated with CCA, provides strength and resistance to decay in outdoor environments. The 4-inch by 6-inch profile and 10-foot span are suitable for supporting multiple conductors, insulators, or lighting fixtures as required by the application.

The crossarm weighs 115 lbs and is designed to distribute mechanical loads evenly across the pole face. Hardware is included for standard V-mounting. Excessive cantilevered loads or mounting of oversized fixtures may require additional engineering review to ensure long-term stability and compliance with local codes.

Adjustability and Control Options

This product is a fixed structural component with no integrated adjustability or control features. The included V-mounting brackets and through bolt allow for secure, repeatable installation on compatible wood poles. Positioning is determined by pole layout and utility standards.

Any adjustments to conductor spacing, insulator placement, or fixture mounting must be performed using compatible hardware and within the structural limits of the crossarm and pole assembly.

Longevity and Reliability

The crossarm is constructed from Southern Yellow Pine and treated with CCA for resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage. This treatment extends service life in outdoor and utility environments. The product is designed for long-term use in exposed conditions, including seasonal weather cycles.

Routine inspection of mounting hardware and wood condition is recommended as part of standard utility maintenance. The 7-year warranty covers material and workmanship under normal operating conditions.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

This crossarm is milled from solid Southern Yellow Pine, measuring 4 inches wide, 6 inches high, and 10 feet long. The CCA treatment process ensures deep penetration for enhanced durability. The product weighs 115 lbs and is supplied with V-mounting brackets and a through bolt for direct installation.

All hardware is designed for compatibility with standard wood utility poles. The crossarm is suitable for both new pole assemblies and replacement of existing arms in the field.

Where This Product Fits Best

This wood crossarm is intended for use in outdoor utility and lighting pole assemblies where structural support for conductors, insulators, or lighting fixtures is required. It is commonly installed in:

• utility distribution
• baseball field lighting
• municipal lighting
• parking lot lighting
• area lighting
• agricultural property lighting
• rural roadway lighting
• sports field lighting

The CCA-treated Southern Yellow Pine construction is suitable for outdoor environments with exposure to weather, insects, and moisture. Not intended for corrosive marine environments or locations requiring non-wood structural materials.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires lifting and securing the crossarm to a compatible wood pole using the included V-mounting brackets and through bolt. Standard utility practices apply for alignment, hardware torque, and conductor attachment. The 10-foot length accommodates typical spacing for multiple lines or fixtures.

Long-term use depends on periodic inspection for wood integrity and hardware tightness. Replacement cycles are determined by site conditions, load requirements, and utility standards. The crossarm is designed for straightforward field replacement with minimal specialized tools.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

Crossarms of this type are typically mounted at heights ranging from 20 to 50 feet, depending on pole length and application. Spacing between crossarms and between poles is set by utility or lighting design standards. The 10-foot span allows for multiple attachment points for conductors, insulators, or lighting fixtures.

Fixture and equipment mounting patterns may vary based on load, wind exposure, and required clearances. Higher mounting heights may require additional bracing or guying to maintain structural stability, especially in areas with high wind loads.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This product does not carry electrical ratings or third-party certifications. All wood is CCA-treated for decay resistance. The crossarm is supplied with hardware designed for secure pole mounting. Standard safety practices for overhead work and lifting apply during installation and maintenance.

The product includes a 7-year warranty covering material and workmanship under normal use. Refer to local codes and utility standards for installation requirements and inspection intervals.
