The Ultimate Rebar Stand

A universal rebar stand design which will fit both 2x4 and 2x6 concrete forms. Two of the most common size dimensions used for forming concrete slabs. My design places the rebar or the wire mesh panel into the approximate center of the slab--if using 2x4's or 2x6's for your slab formwork. Most big box stores sell a basic universal stand for purchase. However, the rebar in those designs is not centered within the slab--can be viewed as a design flaw. The rebar ends up being too high or too low in the formwork or just one dimensional in application. The big box stands are majorly sized for 2x6's formwork. Thus, use of 2x4 formwork puts the rebar too high in the form. When the cement truck shows up….is not the time to figure this issue out! Rebar placed too high in the slab may “float” close to the slab surface during the pour and may become exposed on the surface. Leading to surface rust from the iron rods leeching through thin embedding depth. Also, the slab would be somewha
