Reinforcing - BAR CHAIRS 125/130 QTY50

Bar chairs hold reinforcing mesh at the correct height within a concrete slab. Steel sitting on the ground does nothing structurally — the whole point of reinforcement is that it sits in the tension zone, and a bar chair is what puts it there and keeps it there while the concrete goes in around it.

Details

• 125/130mm chair height
• 50 per pack
• Broad base that won't punch through a poly membrane or sink into a sand bed

How many you need

Allow roughly 4 chairs per square metre of mesh — around 800mm centres — and more where the mesh is being walked on during the pour.

Trade tip: Check the chairs are still standing right before the truck arrives. Mesh that has been walked flat on the day of the pour is the single most common reason a slab cracks in its first summer.
