hi soundman, yes there are 4 X 1.5m rods driven into the ground vertically at the corners of the grid. you can see the mechanical attachments where the rods attach on the corners of the grid. (in fact there was trouble with one of grid rods because of a rock, so there's one that's driven in on an angle)
there are 4 additional vertical rods driven in all 4 corners of the floorspace.
8 rods total.
later this week we will be testing the resistance, and if the desired result (less than 1ohm) is not met, we'll be adding and connecting a second grid.
we already have ALOT of good contact with good earth though, i doubt the 2nd grid will be necessary... we'll see!
