Lighting Poles & Sign Posts

Laminated Wood Lighting Poles
Laminated wood lighting poles are aesthetically pleasing in formal or rustic settings and are
manufactured from 100% renewable, natural coastal douglas fir.
Treated with pentachlorophenol, they will offer many years of service. These poles are directly
embedded, and are field friendly... can be drilled, nailed, or cut on-site.
The internal raceway hides and protects wiring.
Cataloged poles are straight, but custom ordered curved poles are available.

LVL breakaway lightpoles provide the ideal combination of economy,
safety, durability and aesthetics. The simple one-step installation and
saw cut breakaway feature reduces installation and replacement costs
versus alternatives that require a multi-step installation process of
concrete footings and attachment hardware. The hollow box shape
makes LVL lightpoles lighter and easier to install, while resisting twist
and bow. Full depth penetraton of the penta treatment ensures long
service life. Conforms to current NCHRP Report 350.

Installation of
LVL Breakaway Poles
Holes for the posts should be bored with a 24 auger. The holes
should be bored to an embedment depth following standard
specifications for each particular application. Each should be
backfilled with a granular fill as a minimum. Anchor plates or
concrete may be required and the owner should verify on-site
soil conditions.

LVL breakaway signposts and lightpoles provide the ideal combination of economy, safety, durability
and aesthetics. The simple one-step installation and saw cut breakaway feature reduces installation
and replacement costs versus alternatives that require a multiple-step installation process of concrete
footings and attachment hardware. The hollow box shape makes LVL signposts and lightpoles lighter
and easier to install, while resisting twist and bow. Both products are treated with wood preservatives
to provide long life, and each conforms to current NCHRP Report 350.

Breakaway Sign Posts
Installation, Handling, & Storage
Installation

Holes for the posts should be bored with an auger. The type L post requires a 30 diameter hole, and the type
M post requires a 24 diameter hole. The holes should be bored to an embedment depth following standard
state specifications for each particular sign application. Each should be backfilled with a granular fill in a
manner as specified in the states standard specifications. The breakaway feature should be cut into the
signpost after the posts are set. First, carefully drill one inch holes at the proper locations on the signpost,
then cut the web between the holes, taking care not to cut beyond them.
Do not splice LVL breakaway signposts together or remove the protective metal cap from the top of the post.
Fasten the sign panel to the posts with lag screws in predrilled pilot holes. Fastener values (nails, bolts,
screws, etc.) are as provided for solid sawn Douglas fir in the National Design Specification for Wood
Construction published by the NFPA. The lag screws should be installed and tightened with a hand wrench.
