Indiana’s #1 Lightning Protection Service
Shelby County is Indiana horse country — the Indiana Grand racing grounds anchor a landscape of training, boarding, and breeding farms, with barns and arenas spread across open Shelby County pasture. Those barns hold horses, hay, and a livelihood, and they stand as the tallest structures on their ground when central Indiana storms roll in. We protect the whole farm under one plan: farmhouse, horse barns, arenas, run-in sheds, and shops, every building covered.
From Shelbyville through the county’s farm roads — Fairland, Morristown, Waldron, and out toward the county lines — Shelby County pairs serious horse operations with working corn and soybean ground. The exposure is doubled: horse barns and arenas stand in open pasture holding animals and hay, while the same farms run pole barns, equipment sheds, and grain setups across the lane. A strike to a barn roof can ignite hay and timber framing faster than anyone can get horses out, and a strike anywhere on the property can ride the wiring into wash racks, barn fans, and heated waterers.
WB Lightning Rods protects Shelby County horse farms the way we’ve protected horse farms since 1950: whole-farm packages that design the farmhouse, horse barns, arenas, run-in sheds, pole barns, shops, and silos into one plan, priced together. Every system is installed by our experienced crew and personally supervised by the owner, built to NFPA 780 guidelines with UL-listed materials made in the USA.
A boarding or training barn holds other people’s horses along with your own — animals, hay, and a business reputation under one tall roof. Protection is sized to everything inside it.
Indoor arenas are among the largest, tallest roofs on any farm, standing in open pasture. The tallest structure is simply where lightning lands — and on a horse farm that’s the barn or the arena.
Shelby County horse operations run equipment barns, hay sheds, and grain setups alongside the horse barns. One plan covers the whole property — no building left as the exposed one.
One company for the whole farm — farmhouses, horse barns, arenas, run-in sheds, pole barns, and shops, anywhere in Shelby County.
Complete lightning rod systems for houses of every size, designed around your roofline — the work WB has done since 1950.
Discreet, low-profile systems for Shelbyville’s historic and custom homes and the county’s farmhouses — clean runs that respect the architecture.
Discreet, low-profile systems for older farmhouses and historic homes — clean runs along rooflines and downspout lines, protection you have to look for to see.
Barns, stables, and arenas protected along with the residence — horses, hay, and tack, all covered.
Agricultural buildings, equipment shops, and hay storage — the tallest structures on the farm, and the ones lightning finds first.
We protect all of your buildings — farmhouse, horse barns, arenas, run-in sheds, and pole barns — with a lifetime of protection. Multi-building packages price the whole property together, so protecting everything costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Mature oaks, maples, and specimen trees protected with their own terminals and grounding, so a shade tree never becomes the strike path to your roof.
Neighbors who install together save together — neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages for your street, road, or lake shore.
Complete installations and repairs — that’s the work. Already have a system? We inspect it, repair storm damage and wear, and bring older installations up to current NFPA 780 standards. We make old systems great again.
Building new? We design and install protection while the home or barn is going up — cleaner cable runs, nothing retrofitted after the fact.
Every WB system is built to NFPA 780 guidelines using UL-listed materials made in the USA — and designed for Shelby County specifically, not copied from a template.
Placed along rooflines, chimneys, cupolas, barn ridgelines, arena roofs, and silos — the high points lightning seeks first on Shelby County farms.
Heavy conductor cables routed cleanly along rooflines and downspout lines, carrying strike energy safely down and away from the structure.
Deep-driven ground rods at every down conductor, sized for Shelby County soils — so strike energy disperses safely into the earth.
Metal roofing, gutters, water lines, and electrical services bonded to the protection system, so stray current can’t side-flash between metal parts.
Barns, arenas, run-in sheds, pole barns, equipment shops, guest houses, and silos incorporated into the property plan — no building left exposed.
A horse farm is never one building. Our multi-building packages price the whole farm as one design — farmhouse, horse barns, arenas, run-in sheds, pole buildings, shops, and silos, all protected — which costs less than protecting buildings one at a time and leaves no gap between them. Well pumps, barn fans, arena lighting, wash racks, and heated waterers all ride the same electrical service, and the design accounts for every one of them.
The same thinking applies farm by farm down the road. Neighboring farms that install in the same trip earn neighborhood discounts on multi-home packages, and because WB serves all of Indiana statewide, a Shelby County horse farm and a home elsewhere in the state under the same owner are one call, one company. Many quotes are built from satellite imagery, so the process can start with one call.
Real WB installations — horse barns, arenas, and farmhouses protected by our own crew.

Our experienced crew installs the system, and every installation is personally supervised by the owner, start to finish.
Lifetime warranty on parts and labor, with a 5-year maintenance check at no cost. Then you watch Indiana storms the calm way.
That’s our specialty. Multi-building packages for horse farms cover the farmhouse, horse barns, arenas, run-in sheds, pole barns, shops, and silos under one plan — we protect all of your buildings, with a lifetime of protection, and pricing the property together costs less than protecting buildings one at a time.
Price depends on roof size and complexity, the number of buildings, and grounding conditions. Farm packages price multiple buildings together, which brings the per-building cost down. Estimates are free — many are built from satellite imagery of your farm — and every system carries a lifetime warranty on parts and labor.
Yes. A strike to a nearby tree, fence line, or the ground itself can send a damaging surge through wiring, well pumps, barn fans, and electronics — and current can travel along fence lines across a pasture. That’s why grounding and bonding matter as much as the rods on the roof: a properly grounded system gives strike energy a direct, controlled path to earth at the structure itself.
Yes. Arenas are part of the farm design — their wide, tall roofs get terminals along the ridgeline, grounding at every down conductor, and bonding across the structure, priced into the same multi-building package as the barns and farmhouse.
Yes. When neighboring farms install in the same trip, everyone shares the travel and setup — and we pass that saving on as a neighborhood discount on multi-home packages. It only takes one organizer to get it started.
The design covers the buildings the same way — what changes is the stakes. A barn holding boarded and training horses carries the operation’s whole reputation, which is exactly why the whole property gets designed as one plan instead of building by building.
