MEASURING AND CUTTING EMT POLES
Note: Corner brackets add about 3” to the depth, height and width of your enclosure, thus poles are cut 3”
shorter than the enclosure dimension as shown below.
EMT poles and STRUT channels for standard bay sizes:
Review the chart below to determine the number and sizes of EMT and STRUT needed for your bay
size.
NOTE:
12’W x 8’H x 5’D
14’W x 8’6”H x 5’D
CENTER SUPPORT: Only required on
StudioBay systems 16’ wide or larger.
Customers with a SkyRailPLUS will not
need the Center Support Strut.
OTHER DEPTHS: EMT count is based
on 5ft deep bays. For bays deeper
than 5ft you will need 4 EMT poles for
the depth instead of two. Cut each
depth pole 3” shorter than the bay
depth. (i.e 8ft deep requires 4 poles
7’9” long,)
CUSTOM SIZING: See next section if
you have a custom height or width.

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.
TYPE (COUNT)
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
included.
1 STRUT
Bay Depth minus 12”
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”)
EMT and STRUT Count…
Bays up to 15ft wide (5ft deep or less*): 11 EMT and 3 STRUTS
Bays greater than 15ft up to 16ft wide (5ft deep or less*): 12 EMT and 4 STRUTS
Bays greater than 16ft wide (5ft deep or less*): 12 EMT and 5 STRUTS
*If greater than 5ft deep add two more EMT to above count

BUILDING THE FRAME
Frame Diagram
Refer to this diagram often to identify connectors and poles needed for the step by step instructions on
the following pages.
Note: Corner brackets add approximately 3” 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.
