Local Properties
Typical properties we protect in Parker County
Horse barns & covered arenas
Weatherford is known as a center of the cutting-horse world, and many Parker County properties have long barns and tall, open-span arenas with metal roofs that need multiple down conductors and good bonding.
Ranchettes & acreage homes
Homes on 5- to 50-acre tracts around Aledo, Annetta, and Peaster often sit on open pasture with little around them taller than the roofline.
Water wells & gate operators
Many properties outside city water rely on private wells, pressure pumps, and electric gates that are easily damaged by nearby strikes.
Country churches & rural schools
Steeples and gyms in smaller communities like Brock, Millsap, and Poolville stand out across open country.
Weather & Ground
Weather and ground conditions in Parker County
Parker County sits in the Western Cross Timbers, where post oak woods break up open pasture. Soils range from sandy loam to rocky clay, and some hilltops have shallow rock, so grounding is planned for each site rather than assumed.
Spring storms that build west of the Metroplex often reach Parker County first. Tall arenas and barns on open ground are among the most exposed structures around.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

Parker County lightning protection FAQ
Can you protect a covered riding arena?
Yes. Large open-span arenas need air terminals spaced along the full ridge and eaves, plus several down conductors and grounding points around the perimeter. Metal framing and roofing are bonded into the system.
Do barns with metal roofs still need lightning protection?
A metal roof does not by itself provide a safe path to ground. It needs to be properly bonded and connected to down conductors and grounding so current doesn't travel through framing, wiring, or stalls.
Can surge protection help my well pump and electric gate?
Yes. Surge protective devices at the service and at key equipment like well pumps and gate operators help protect them from surges caused by nearby lightning.
Do you serve both the growing east side and rural west side of the county?
Yes. We serve Aledo, Willow Park, and Hudson Oaks as well as rural areas around Millsap, Poolville, Peaster, and Brock.
