The lightning rod system installed on the Dream Garage by J & G Lightning Protection, inc. of Pittsburgh, PA will draw the lightning towards it and give it a safe path to ground. The lightning rod system itself begins on the roof of the garage. Perched upon the ridge of the roof are two lightning rods. The lightning rods are made of copper and are held in place by a galvanized steel, 3 legged scroll base which is connected to the roof. The copperpole is connected to a cable which runs along the roof, under the ridge cap, and down the side of the building to the ground.
