What Are LED Lighting Supply's Class 2 Wood Light Poles?

All of our wood light poles and wood utility poles meet stringent wood pole requirements defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). LED Lighting Supply's class 2 poles are known for providing the strongest solution for public utility and transmission components.

A pole's qualifying class is determined primarily by its load-bearing capacity, species, pole length, and other dimensions. Unlike steel poles, our Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA)-treated wood poles provide unique strength in any environment for a reliable, long-lasting project solution. Constructed with no bark in various heights, our class 2 poles deliver a preserved lifespan of 50+ years.

Our steel light poles and fiberglass light poles are a top choice for high-wind locations and hurricane-prone environments over wood light poles. Their superior EPA ratings are an attractive feature as they are less likely to bend or break in hazardous weather conditions. Our fiberglass light poles have a long-lasting service life of 80+ years.

Top Benefits of Class 2 Wood Light Poles:

  • Wood light poles are an economical yet reliable alternative to steel or concrete poles
  • Our poles have a proven track record of maintaining structural stability and require minimal maintenance
  • Direct burial ground installation options reduce overall project costs while easing wood pole placement
  • Our poles are sourced, debarked, and manufactured in the USA using American wood
  • LED Lighting Supply's wood pole classes meet American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) requirements

What Are ANSI 05.1 Wood Light Pole Requirements?

All wooden light pole classes are defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Pole classes are primarily based on load-bearing capacity. It is also defined by the wood pole's dimensions and wood or utility pole species, such as Red Pine, Douglas Fir, and other species.

The pole classes outlined from the ANSI standards define the diameter and minimum circumference requirements for stable and reliable pole placement. This ensures that the utility pole meets structural integrity requirements for electrical, telecommunication, and sports field projects.

To determine the minimum circumference 6 feet from butt and minimum diameter 6 feet from butt, use LED Lighting Supply's free pole dimension estimation calculator.

Class 2 Utility Pole Specifications:

  • Minimum Circumference at Top: 37.5 inches
  • Circumference at 6 Feet from Butt: 25.5 inches
  • Strength: Very high load-bearing capacity
  • Common Uses: Major distribution lines, street lighting
  • Typical Length: 35 to 90 feet

What Are the Types of Class 2 Wooden Light Poles at LED Lighting Supply?

LED Lighting Supply's light poles and utility poles include two different installation types: anchor-based and direct burial. Most commonly, wood utility poles use the direct burial installation method. This method is a less tedious approach to securing the pole. Wood poles are placed directly into the ground and don't require any foundation materials. Thanks to the ease of direct burial installation, anchor bolts are not required to secure the poles.

The anchor-based installation method is best for steel light poles and concrete poles over wood poles. The main difference with anchor-based poles is the need for additional construction prep and placement materials, such as anchor bolts. This is a favorable installation method due to its enhanced stability over direct burial installation. Anchor-based light poles ensure minimal structural damage upon impact or when harsh weather conditions are endured.

How Many Class 2 Poles Do I Need For My Project?

Our Product Specialists understand project requirements and recommend the proper pole class solution with accurate pole counts to align with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI standards). There are minimum order requirements for many of our utility poles. Our team can engineer a free pole quote outlining the recommended pole class, pole height, and pole count to meet minimum order requirements efficiently.
