Benefits of lightning protection system for barns & Farm houses
If lightning strikes wood or hay it may cause immediate fire. Protect your livestock and property from the devastating effects of a lightning strike. The goal for installing lighting rods to the top of the barn that are wired to the ground is that when lightning strikes the barn, the rods will bear the brunt of the damage, ensuring that your horses are never harmed.
Installing the lightning protection rods on the roof of the barn will provide a direct path to ground, preventing damage to the barn from fire, explosion, and electrical surges that can result from lightning strikes. Moreover, for barns, we install lightning rods that are wired directly into the ground. In the event of lightning striking the barn, your horses will not be affected by the lightning rods because they will absorb the force of the lightning.

Installing Lightning Rods on Barns – Our Recent Work
Should You Install Lightning Protection Rods for Barns?
Installing lightning protection for barns can be a wise decision, especially if you live in an area prone to thunderstorms or lightning strikes. Lightning strikes can cause significant damage to structures, including barns, and pose a fire risk.
Lightning protection systems typically consist of lightning rods, conductors, and grounding systems designed to safely direct the electrical energy from a lightning strike into the ground, bypassing the structure and reducing the risk of fire or structural damage. These systems are designed to intercept lightning strikes and provide a path of least resistance for the electrical current.
While installing lightning protection may require an initial investment, it can help protect your barn, livestock, equipment, and stored goods from damage due to lightning strikes. It can also provide peace of mind knowing that you’ve taken steps to mitigate the risk of fire and damage from severe weather events.
It’s a good idea to consult with a professional lightning protection specialist or electrician to assess the specific needs of your barn and determine the most effective lightning protection system for your situation. They can provide guidance on proper installation and maintenance to ensure the system functions effectively to protect your property.
