Illinois Researchers Propose Zinc Coated Ground Rods
The University of Illinois suggests using old iron rods pipes or cables weighing at least five ounces per foot as ground rods for buildings. If ungalvanized the coating of zinc paint prevents corrosion for many years. Rods should reach 6 to 8 feet in moist soil and be placed about 100 feet apart with a minimum two grounds per building. Quality grade sheets with two inches of zinc coating per square foot maximize corrosion resistance.
