Thanks

Re: Hi Bay hanging
The last hi-bay job I did, about 2 months ago, I was able to locate the lights right on the bar joist. I used eyebolts, and some inch and a half fender washers. I put the eyebolts thru the bottom of the bar joist and nutted them tight. Some manufacturers offer adapters to hang the lights directly from the 4" sq box.

Depending on the span, some high bay hooks will work on 3/4" rigid pipe.

I had a unique opportunity at the last place I worked, there was a metal fab shop next door. I used angle iron a lot to hang high fixtures and large j-boxes. He would cut them to length for me, punch holes where I wanted them, and bring them to me for about half what it would cost me for a unistrut setup. I also had him fabricate panel and transformer racks.
Another tip, buy your strut in 20-24' lengths, without slots. You can save a good bit of money that way, and often times have less waste.
