Lightning Rods
#12
a 10' steel pole. Is this a lightning rod?

Mitigate the potential lightning strike by providing a path of least resistance, such as a solid #6 copper ground wire that runs directly from the pole to a ground rod.

The best protection devices typically include some "gas discharge tubes". Which probably means making them yourself, because commodity "surge supressor" doesn't include these.
