Because they're cheaper and stronger and UL listed for a grounding rod. A
piece of 1" copper is not. And you can Cadweld to the top of them.

Hello,
I have been thinking of using 8 feet of copper 1 inch pipe as my ground
rods for a new tower install... Is this a good idea? Would clad rods
be better? If so why?
