We have several EMT-based outbuildings here which are generally set up and left in place for years, and the oldest is 7 years and going strong.  Except for the big treebranch that fell on it last November and bent a few of the structural pieces.  Darn thing has taken a beating but it keeps coming back for more.  The ground has built up around it enough that when I finally do take the frame down, I've got some excavation to do.  But yea, 7 years and you'd think it was brand new save for the branch damage.  And some corrosion starting to show where it's wet 10 months out of every year.  Poor planning on my part.....

If I owned one (which I don't--I bent mine with an EMT bender) I would not be quick to sell it, since I don't know how long EMT lasts when stuck in soil for months at a time. Five years?
