Earth Electrode Concern.

Zoomup
I was working in a large back garden today. The garden shed was connected to an old caravan supply (caravan gone) and the underground S.W.A. cable from the house had been  converted to TT earthing originally for the caravan and now for the shed sockets and lighting. As an earth electrode somebody had used a length of  10mm galvanised threaded rod (studding). What are your views about its suitability please?

    AJ mentioned the Irish Rules. Minimum size for hot dip galvanised steel is 10mm2 when installed vertically. There is no preference as to type as long as it is deemed capable of providing protection against corrosion and mechanical damage and has the appropriate efficacy for intended life. If any preference is implied in the Irish Rules, it would be for the provision of a foundation earth electrode.
