Lightning rods (metal pole or spike) are placed just above the highest point of a building. A metal cable or strap is attached to the rod, and the other end is buried in the ground. The idea is that a lightning strike will hit the rod and the electrical charge, instead of damaging the building, is led down the cable and is dissipated safely into the ground.
