Key Factors to Consider
Pole Size and Shape: Measure the outer diameter of your pole to ensure a proper fit. Base covers typically accommodate a range of pole sizes, depending on the style.
- Straight or tapered
- Smooth or fluted
- Has any protrusions like bolts that the base cover needs to accommodate.
Installation Style: (There are two main types of base covers)
- Drop-Over Base (One Piece): Ideal for new installations as it requires removing the light fixture to slip the cover over the top of the pole.
- Clamshell Base (Two Piece): This easy-to-install option screws together around the pole, making it suitable for both new and existing installations and allowing for easy maintenance access.
Material: Consider your local climate and current challenges your city may be facing (such as corrosion, vandalism, or theft). With LLDPE resin, the base covers will never rust, corrode, or chip, and have no resale value as scrap to help minimize theft.

Light Pole Base Styles
We offer two primary styles of light pole base covers to meet a variety of installation needs: the two-piece light pole base (also known as a clamshell base) and the one-piece light pole base (drop-over style).
Two-Piece Light Pole Base (Clamshell Style)
Our two-piece light pole base cover is designed to open on a hinge and wrap around the bottom of your existing light pole. This clamshell-style decorative light pole base shroud is made from durable resin and secures shut with a threaded locking mechanism. Ideal for both new and retrofit projects, this two-piece decorative light pole base allows for quick installation and easy access for maintenance—no need to remove the pole or fixture.
One-Piece Light Pole Base (Drop-Over Style)
The one-piece light pole base cover is a drop-over design that slides over the top of the pole. To install this one-piece decorative light pole base, simply remove the luminaire, finial, or sign from the top of the pole, lower the base cover into position, and reinstall the fixture. This style is perfect for new installations or situations where the pole top components can be easily accessed.
