EMT poles Strut Channels for custom sized bay:
Review the chart below to determine the number and sizes of EMT and STRUT needed for your
custom bay. The general concept is to make the poles slightly smaller than the finished height, depth
or width to allow for connectors. If you have any questions please contact us at 877-847-1280 for
assistance.

EMT / STRUT COUNT
LENGTH
Height (6)
6 EMT
Bay Height minus 3”
Ex: 9ft H Bay
108” minus 3” = 105” (8ft9”)
Width (4)
2 EMT
2 STRUT
10ft (no cuts)
Width Extender (4)
Used to extend the width
poles to full bay width of bay
(minus 3”)
Width 15ft or less:
1 EMT - cut into 2 ea
1 STRUT - cut into: 2 ea
Width greater than 15ft:
2 EMT - cut into 2 ea
2 STRUT - cut into: 2 ea
Bay Width minus 123”
Ex: 15ft W Bay
180” minus 123” = 57” (4’9”)
Center Support (1)
Only needed if the bay width
is 16ft or greater
Not needed if SkyRailPlus is

Ex: 6ft D Bay
72” minus 12” = 60” (5’0”)
Depth (4)
5ft or less:
2 EMT cut into 4 ea
Greater than 5ft:
4 EMT cut into 4 ea
Bay Depth minus 3”
Ex: 6ft D Bay
72” minus 3” = 69” (5’9”)
