Fabric Structures Equipped with Lightning Protection
Fabric Shelters as Muster Stations
One of the key benefits of adding lightning protection is that your building can then be used as a well-lit muster station to shelter your staff from volatile weather. If you use your structure as a lunchroom or safety meeting facility, lightning protection is a great add-on to include in your design to keep your employees and equipment safe.
A Solution Designed for Your Business
Big Top is known in the industry for our flexibility in design. Other fabric shelter providers may only have a few designs for you to choose from, but we will design and build a structure that meets the needs of your business to a tee. We have many other accessories available in addition to lightning protection, such as seating and lunch tables, doors, and HVAC systems.
Big Top’s Lighting Protection Kit
We believe in keeping things as simple as possible while achieving the highest level of success. Our fabric shelters, for example, while extremely sturdy and functional, are quick to assemble, disassemble and relatively simple to relocate.
The same goes for our lightning protection kit. Its components are basic but highly effective in protecting against lightning. The kit consists of the following items:
- One lightning rod and a diffuser unit
- One mounting bracket to support the system
- 90 feet of aluminum cable

- Three each of ½” x 8’ – 0” Copper bond ground rod
