Frequently Asked Questions
Common spacing is 12, 16, or 24 inches on center (OC), depending on the load requirements.
Rebar should typically be kept 2-3 inches away from the earth and edges to prevent corrosion.
No, this calculator determines the net length. You should add 10% extra for overlaps (splices) and waste.
