[QUOTE="milesvb, post: 523543, member: 413"] I'm considering getting a pole barn built for round bale storage using clear span metal frame, roof, 3 sided. While discussing it with a neighbor he mentioned a barn like this down the road that got struck by lightning with a good deal of hay being lost. Can anyone give their thoughts on this? How many folks here have metal hay barns and do you have any sort of lightning protection? My thoughts were that the metal barn with steel pipe frame sunk into the ground would act as a Faraday cage and conduct the current around the contents, or maybe not. [/QUOTE]
