40 Foot Above Grade Round Tapered Fiberglass Light Pole | 8.5 Inch Base Diameter | Direct Burial | 3 EPA at 100 MPH
This 40 foot above grade round tapered fiberglass pole is a strong choice for large outdoor lighting projects requiring elevated mounting, such as municipal sites, industrial campuses, and parking lots. Its lightweight fiberglass construction simplifies handling and installation compared to steel or concrete, while resisting corrosion in environments where metal poles may degrade. The direct burial design is ideal where anchor base installation is not feasible, and the 3 EPA at 100 MPH wind rating supports use in moderate to high wind areas, provided fixture EPA limits are observed.
