Explore Our Full Line of Steel, Aluminum & Fiberglass Light Poles
Outdoor projects often run on tight schedules, and the right pole can make all the difference. RelightDepot offers a broad selection of steel, aluminum, and fiberglass light poles for diverse applications. With predictable lead times, straightforward freight, and both quick-ship and custom options, it is easy to get poles on site without delays or surprises.
Steel, Aluminum & Fiberglass Options
Light poles are available in multiple materials, each with distinct strengths and typical use cases. Your choice should reflect site conditions, durability needs, mounting style, and ordering timelines.
Steel Light Poles
Steel is a trusted choice for parking lots, campuses, and retail centers where strength is critical. Popular options include direct burial straight round steel poles and square steel poles with anchor or bolt-on bases.
- Heights: 10–30 ft; typical 11-gauge construction.
- Finish: dark bronze is standard on quick-ship poles. Custom finishes such as black, white, gray, or other colors are available on built-to-order models.
- Mounting: side-drilled or tenon mounts to match fixture requirements.
These are just a few of our most requested steel poles. Browse the full steel light pole category to find additional sizes, finishes, and mounting styles.
Aluminum Light Poles
Aluminum provides excellent corrosion resistance, especially for coastal areas or sites exposed to moisture and chemicals. Lighter weight makes handling and installation easier while maintaining dependable strength.
- Heights: 12–30 ft round tapered anchor-based models.
- Use cases: coastal, parks, decorative streetscapes, facilities prioritizing appearance and longevity.
- Mounting: typically tenon; side drilling available on select models.

Fiberglass Light Poles
Fiberglass is non-conductive, resists dents and rust, and is the lightest material to install on site. It is well-suited for public spaces, coastal zones, and harsh winter climates.
- Strengths: rust-proof, impact resistant, non-conductive.
- Quick ship: common models are in stock and ship within 1–3 days.
- Mounting: direct burial and anchor base options available by model.

Typical Uses for Light Poles
Poles serve more than area and site lighting. They support a wide range of applications across trades. Use the examples below to match a pole type and mounting style to the task at hand.
- Parking lots and retail centers, where electrical contractors and facility teams typically select steel or aluminum poles for area fixtures and consistent site appearance.
- Security and low-voltage installations, where low-voltage contractors mount cameras, sensors, and Wi-Fi access points to poles. Height and stiffness help with field of view and stability.
- Landscaping and outdoor amenities, where landscape contractors use shorter poles for string lights, shade sails, and decorative lighting in patios, courtyards, and parks.
- Municipal and park projects, where fiberglass and aluminum perform well for streetscapes, walkways, and public areas that demand durability and aesthetics.
- Signage and small infrastructure, where signage contractors use poles for small signs or combined lighting/signage applications. Drill patterns or tenon sizing should be verified before ordering.
Ordering & Installation Considerations
Ordering poles involves more than just selecting a height and material. Contractors and facility managers should also consider mounting style, replacement fit, lead times, and freight terms. Below are the most common factors to review before placing an order.
Mounting Styles
- Direct burial, the simplest to install. Requires only digging to the correct depth specified for the pole.
- Anchor base, requires anchor bolts embedded in a concrete foundation. Energy Light poles include anchor bolts, bolt pattern, base cover, and either a top cap or tenon. Anchor bolts can also be shipped ahead of the poles for a small fee so foundations can be set while poles are in transit.
Replacing Existing Poles
When replacing an existing pole, the anchor bolt pattern must match the installed foundation. Once embedded, bolts cannot be moved. Each pole spec sheet includes the anchor plate pattern and bolt dimensions.
Pro Tip: To confirm fit, measure center-to-center spacing in both directions, measure the diagonal spacing to determine the bolt circle, and note the bolt diameter. With these details, our team can help verify whether a new pole will fit your existing base.

Quick-Ship and Custom Lead Times
- Quick-Ship poles (ENL-QS SKUs), typically in stock, ship within 3 business days. Transit time is usually 1–3 weeks depending on destination.
- Custom built-to-order poles, ship within 3 weeks. Transit time is the same 1–3 weeks.
Whether you need a fast replacement or a custom configuration, delivery timing is predictable so you can plan installs confidently.
