with
a 6 guage wire, both are all copper and have worked well. There is no
corrosion. If you mix metals, you can get a galvanic reaction between =
copper
and steel with the wire corroding over time eventually this will fail. =
Be
sure to install the ground rods 2x the distance apart of their depth.
I'd look at availability and price.

One source is telling me that copper grounding rods will corrode away =
and
cease to function as the ground for the electric fence. They say that
galvanized steel is a far superior. Does anyone here have any =
experience
with galvanized steel vs. copper for ground rods?
Copper, and galvanized copper (new to me), are available locally. The
galvanized steel is a couple of hours away.
