[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 426633, member: 16173"] The only thing similar I've even been close to is a mate in France who converted an animal shed into a [B]"[/B]gite[B][I]" [/I][/B] as he calls it. He had to employ a French sparks and the guy basically sunk a big copper plate in a dug hole where we would have whacked a rod(s) in. From the photos the thing looked 3'x3' at least. Not saying I'll do it but is there any mileage in making my own "tape"? Thinking some lengths of 22mm copper pipe, flattened at the ends (or all the way along) joined by soldering and / or brass bolts etc. What's so special about the copper coating on normal rods? This more out of interest tbh. [/QUOTE]
