E.m.t. is conduit for running wires to places that need to be protected.
A 10 foot stick is around 2 dollars. If you can't find someone to flute the end for you, just use a 1/2 " coupling to connect the pieces. They have set screws on both sides. Don't use the pot metal ones, use the shiny ones they are stronger. Be sure you deburr the end you cut so you don't cut yourself on the sharp edge. One of my shelters uses 1/2" emt for the support poles too.
