Lightning rod sources

[steveloe]

Any suggestions on distributers for lightning rods, cable, and fittings?
We have a customer that wants us to install lightning rods, but I'm having trouble finding sources for materials. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Steve do a google search.
It depends on the part of the country you are in. Because weight for shipping will be an issue.
I'd go with Aluminum
Lightning rod supply in Homassa Fl. has them.

make sure you know what you are doing... if not engineered correctly you could be drawing lightning to the building and not protecting it -- serious liabilty !

These guys design, install and sell lightning protection equipment. This is not a project you should enter into if do not have experience in that type of work. Also, many building owners and or insurance companies require a UL master label for a lightning protection system. I don't think you can get that unless you are a lightning protecion contractor.

Thanks guys; you've been a great help. I appreciate the input, especially the cautions. I've contacted a professional for design work and I will soon know if we will pursue this or gracefully bow out.
