I take mine and wrap the copper around the ground rod and the cut a slit in the top and bottom with a hack saw and then use hose clamps.

I highlu recommens KF7P Metalworks.

I just ordered some ground rod clamps last week.  They are at my office
so I haven't seem them yet but if the quality is anything like the
customer service they will be great.

Has anyone come up with a way to connect flat copper straps to ground rods? DXXE sells copper clamps w/ hardware, but at $35 a pop, I hoping that there
is a more reasonable way to get the job done.

My copper strap is 2" wide, by 6ft, and about 18 ga, but not sure.

Tnx,
