I recently had to reinstall an aerial to a detached garage that was rebuilt after collapsing in a heavy winter snow. The existing was triplex (from the house). I wasn't sure about the triplex so I called the EI and he said I could put it back up and install ground rods at the garage for the panel. Now I have another one, fire damaged garage, overhead existing and not damaged. The EI came the other day and said it had to be fourplex. There are no rods installed at this panel and I told him the other EI allowed me to leave it and install rods. He said he is going to check on that. Then I called another EI friend of mine and he said If it's existing you can add the rods, if it's new you have to run fourplex, which sounds like the answer. Is that correct?
