Hot-Dipped Galvanized Ground Rods

We have all popular lengths of galvanized ground rods that are made in the USA. All of our grounding rods meet or exceed industry standards.

Hot-dip galvanizing is a meticulous process where we bathe your product in a zinc coating. This long-lasting coating protects your item from the harsh elements.

Our galvanized ground rod surfaces are rigid, free of seams and slivers; galvanized coating is smooth with no burrs or runs.
