Abstract:
A lightning shelter that is useful to provide temporary shelter on golf courses and for people engaged in other outdoor activities. The shelter includes a floor secured to the ground, walls extending upward from the floor and a roof that are connected together to define a completely enclosed, lightning protected region therein. The floor, walls and roof include metal electrically conductive material at least 0.03″ thick and having a maximum spacing between portions of conductive material of 4″. The metal electrically conductive material of the floor, walls and roof are electrically connected in a unitary electrical system so as to provide a Faraday cage enclosure that protects against lightning, shielding occupants within the shelter from very high voltage surges and protecting against internal arcs.
