Rated 1 out of 5 by from Awful cheap product I bought these earth rods for a Ham Radio installation. These earth rods are not made from copper, they are plated, also that are too thick for standard earth rod clamps. I doubt if they'll last long. Not recommended at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from hamradio grounding Bought to ground my radio gear, 8ft is recommended for a good grounding on end fed wires, I bought 2 plus a joining collar and a nut driver, cheapest way i found when putting them into the ground, if you have an SDS plus drill is to get an SDS socket adapter and use an oversize socket to drill down into the soil. The bolt then protects the rod.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well made Good quality, heavily plated which will reduce corrosion. Threaded both ends which makes extending and connecting easy.

Dose EARTH ROD 5/8" 4FT EXTENDABLE (87633) come with a coupler or is this an extra?
Asked by: Wattsyboy

How 'long' should the earth rods be

Many thanks for the first reply and my apologies as I would like to know if the rod should be 4' or 8'.
Asked by: Ween
Hello Ween, Screwfix, due to health and safety, is unable to offer installation advice on earth rods other than that contained in the manufacturer’s instructions.We would recommend contacting a suitably qualified tradesperson for advice in this case.  Thank you for using Q and A.JB
