MEASURING AND CUTTING EMT POLES
NOTE:
SkyBridge™ customers should first review the SkyBridge™
as it will
reduce the number of EMT poles needed. The size of your MicroBay will determine the
number of poles needed, see chart below.

Number of
Poles
Needed
Cut poles as follows:
MicroBay
10W by 8H
8 ea 10’ poles
Height: 4 poles cut to 7’9” ea.
Width: 3 poles cut to 9’9”ea.
Depth: 1 pole cut into 2 ea. 1’9” (top sides) and
2 ea. 3’0” poles (bottom legs)
MicroBay
12W by 9H
9 ea 10’ poles
Height: 4 poles cut to 8’9” ea.
Width: 3 poles at 10’0” ea., no cuts needed
Extenders: 1 pole cut into 3 ea poles 1’9” ea.
Depth: 1 pole cut into 2 ea. 1’9” poles (top sides) and
2 ea 3’0” poles (bottom legs)
If you have ordered a custom dimension bay use the information below to calculate the number of
10ft EMT poles needed and cut them to the proper length:
HEIGHT
POLES
You will need 4 ea 10ft EMT poles - cut ea 3 inches shorter than your finished
height
WIDTH AND
EXTENDER
POLES
For bay under 10ft
- you will need 3 ea 10ft EMT poles - cut ea poles 3 inches
shorter than your finished width.
For custom size greater than 10ft
- you will need 4 ea 10ft EMT poles - 3 ea poles
will not need to be cut (leave them at 10ft each). The 4th pole should be cut into 4
sections to extend the 10ft poles to your finished width (-) minus 3” inches.
(i.e. a 13ft wide bay would require three (3) 10ft poles plus three (3) extender poles
ea 2ft 9in long)
DEPTH
POLES
You should not reduce the depth of the MicroBay
Depth: 1 pole cut into 2 ea. 1’9” poles (top sides) and
2 ea 3’0” poles (bottom legs)
Note:
Each corner bracket adds approximately 1.5” to the size of your enclosure. Therefore, once
poles and brackets are assembled an additional 3” will be added to the finished width, height and
depth of your enclosure. Therefore, all poles are cut 3” shorter than the finished height, width, or
depth of the enclosure.
If you have ordered a
custom
sized enclosure make note of this factor
when cutting your poles
