I installed a aluminum and steel gazebo on an existing concrete pad just outside of my home. It is not attached. I ran a single 20 amp branch circuit in schedule 40 PVC to the gazebo.It is GFCI protected. 3 recepts and 1 fan.
I wanted to know what you all think regarding a ground rod. There is no sub panel just the single 20 amp circuit. I thought for lightning protection some sort of an electrode would be a good idea? I would drive the rod about 4" from the structure and attach it to the mounting bolts on one post? If this were your project what size wire and rod would you use, or would you consider this a waste of time........Thanks John
