What Are LED Lighting Supply's Class 5 Wooden Light Poles and Utility Poles?

Our reliable collection of wood utility poles and wood light poles are vertical structures with bark completely removed, available in various heights. Known for their moderate load-bearing capacity and cost-effectiveness, our minimal maintenance wood poles effectively support light-duty distribution equipment and secondary power components with dependable performance. While alternative materials, such as steel light poles, may be preferred in regions that are prone to harsh weather conditions due to higher EPA ratings. Properly treated class 5 wood poles offer an extended service life for standard projects in moderate conditions.

Many of our wood poles are custom built to order. We do stock quick-ship alternatives for more urgent project requirements.

Top Benefits of LED Lighting Supply's Class 5 Wood Utility Poles:

• Wood utility poles and light poles offer an cost-effective alternative to steel poles or fiberglass utility poles

Class 5 Utility Pole Specifications:

• Minimum Circumference at Top: 24 inches
• Circumference at 6 Feet from Butt: 19.5 inches
• Strength: Moderate load-bearing capacity
• Common Uses: Light-duty distribution lines, secondary power lines
• Typical Length: 25 to 65 feet

Understanding ANSI Requirements for Wood Utility Poles

Wood light poles and utility poles are classified according to standards established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These classifications are based on specific dimensions and wood species characteristics, including Southern Yellow Pine and Western Red Cedar. ANSI standards define the diameter and minimum circumference requirements essential for secure pole installation. This classification system ensures each utility pole meets the necessary durability requirements for light-duty distribution lines and secondary power applications.

Class 5 Wooden Utility Pole Types at LED Lighting Supply

LED Lighting Supply's utility poles and light poles are offered in two installation configurations: direct burial and anchor-based.

• Direct Burial Installation: Wood utility poles are commonly installed using the direct burial method. This approach involves positioning the poles directly into excavated ground without supplementary foundation materials. Anchor bolts are not necessary for this installation technique.
• Anchor-Based Installation: This method is typically associated with corrosion-resistant steel light poles and concrete poles. Anchor-based installations secure poles using anchor bolts for enhanced stability. This installation type provides improved resilience in high wind zones or adverse weather conditions. Steel poles are best suited for illuminating sports fields and parking lots.
