Before you order

  • This covers straight bars. Add bends, hooks, chairs and starter bars from your bar bending schedule.
  • For a mesh, run this twice: once for each direction.
  • Bars below the required grade, or lighter than their nominal weight, are a common site problem. Check mill certificates and weigh samples.
