How to Cut Your Own Struts
to determine your strut lengths.
The Blue struts on the calculator are always the longest struts, and this is the place to
enter your data. For maximum strength, the longest struts should not be greater than 5
feet in length.
The hubs are designed for 1” PVC pipe with 1.315” OD. If you want to use 3/4” or 1”
EMT conduit, upon request we will drill the hubs with the correct apertures for these
ODs as a special order.
The Dome Calculator Material Utilization Chart will indicate the number of pipes that
you will need to purchase.
