Re: [IRCA] Ground Rods

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

I get 8' 1/2" regular copper covered ground rods from Home Depot for about 
20.00 and use a sledge hammer. They probably go in easier than a pipe as the 
tip is pointed and they are solid. I've put in two, one was extremely 
difficult as the area was very rocky, the other went in fairly easily at 
least in comparison to the first.
