A telco-grade ground on a backboard is customarily 12-ga or larger
solid copper, with no breaks at all between the backboard and either a
pre-master-valve water-pipe ground, or a properly instally outdoor
ground rod.  Or, in some cases, structural steel.

Yes "correctly" can be difficult to manage.

Any of those can, depending on where someone was kind enough to
mount your backboard, be between 1 and 6 hours of labor to do properly.

I dunno about you, but I charge *extra* for that sort of work.

Cheers,
