How to Choose the Right Strut Channel?

Selecting the proper Unistrut Channel depends on understanding the requirements of your specific application. The following section outlines the main factors to evaluate and provides a closer look at how each one impacts performance.

Material Type

Steel channel offers the best strength for most indoor and structural applications, while stainless steel or aluminum is preferred for corrosive environments, outdoor applications, or cleanroom environments. Choosing the right material ensures long-term performance and less maintenance over time.

Gauge (Thickness)

The gauge determines how much load your channel can handle. 12-gauge is standard for heavy-duty industrial work, while 14- or 16-gauge may be sufficient for lighter installations. We only stock 12-guage strut at Denali Industrial Supply to comply with building requirements for seismic loading in Alaska.  Other gauges are available as a special order item. 

Slot Style

Solid channel (no holes or slots) provides maximum strength and rigidity, while slotted channel offers flexibility during installation, allowing easy alignment and adjustment without drilling. Consider the balance between rigidity and convenience for your project.

Mounting & Accessories

A strut system is only as strong as its connections. Choose compatible channel nuts, fittings, brackets, and clamps that match your channel profile and material type. Keeping components consistent ensures maximum load-bearing capacity and a cleaner, more professional installation.

Application Requirements

Understanding the specific demands of your environment will help you build a strut system that’s reliable, durable, and cost-effective. Examples of application requirements include:

• Mechanical and electrical supports demand strength and vibration resistance.
• Outdoor or corrosive environments require protective finishes.
• Custom frameworks or racks may need multiple channel types and accessories.
