Braid is not used in commercial ground systems and is not recommended for this type of application. One problem is that as the rain runs down the tower leg it picks up some zinc which is deposited in

If you decide to use solid copper strap instead of braid, you can get some nice flat solid copper by slicing a piece of copper water pipe lengthwise and flattening it out.... I've used a Dremel tool
