Storms can roll through in spring and again in late summer and fall. Out on open ranch land and up on the hills, a building is often the tallest thing for a long way.

Ranches, hunting properties, and lodges

Ranch homes, hunting lodges, bunkhouses, and camp houses often sit on a rise or out in open country where they stand out. Many are used part of the year, so a strike can go unnoticed until the next visit. Barns, shops, and equipment sheds are part of the picture too. See farm and ranch lightning protection.

Livestock buildings, well pumps, solar setups, and gate openers can all be hurt by lightning. Rods protect the structures, and surge protection helps protect pumps and controls from surges on the lines.

Hill Country homes and cabins on high ground

Around Leakey, Utopia, Camp Wood, and Rocksprings, homes and cabins are often built on ridges and hilltops for the views, which also leaves them more exposed. Metal roofs, stone chimneys, and big live oaks close to the house are all things we look at when planning a system. See residential lightning protection and tree lightning protection.

River properties on the Frio and Nueces

Cabins, vacation rentals, and homes along the Frio River near Concan and Leakey, and along the Nueces near Camp Wood, often sit under tall cypress and pecan trees or on bluffs above the water. We plan conductor routes and grounding around the site, including rocky ground and river-bottom soils.

Lake Amistad and Del Rio homes

Homes around Lake Amistad and on the edges of Del Rio often sit on open, rocky ground with long views and few tall trees, so the house can be the high point. We also work on homes in town in Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Uvalde, and Hondo.

Churches and small-town commercial buildings

Many towns here have historic stone churches and newer sanctuaries with steeples and bell towers. We plan each system with care for how the building looks. See church and steeple lightning protection.

Feed stores, shops, offices, and metal buildings need a layout planned around their roofs and rooftop equipment. See commercial lightning protection.

Rocky ground and grounding

Much of this country has thin soil over limestone, and a ground rod can stop short. We may use extra electrodes, angled rods, or a ground ring, and design grounding for your property.
