Rebar Supply and Fabrication

Rebar Cut and Bent Before Your Pour Date

Rebar Supply and Fabrication in Kempner for eliminating delays when foundation schedules depend on precise bar placement

Local Steel Supply provides rebar in number 3, number 4, number 5, and number 6 sizes, along with stirrups, tie wire, corner bars, and poly rolls for contractors pouring slabs, footings, and structural walls. You receive material cut to length and bent to shape based on your drawings or field measurements, so your crew sets reinforcement without spending hours on a job-built bending table. This service supports projects ranging from residential foundations to commercial tilt-walls where bar schedules determine inspection approval and pour timing.


Custom fabrication means you submit a plan or sketch showing bar spacing, lap lengths, hook angles, and stirrup dimensions, then pick up bundles tagged by mark number and placement zone. If you work without engineered plans, the yard can fabricate bars based on verbal instructions or standard details for continuous footings, grade beams, and thickened edges. Poly rolls protect bars during storage, tie wire secures intersections at code-required spacing, and corner bars handle L-shaped or T-shaped intersections where straight stock cannot achieve the required bend radius.


Call Local Steel Supply to discuss your rebar needs and confirm fabrication lead times for your upcoming pour.

Fabrication Reduces Labor and Improves Accuracy

You specify bar size, length, quantity, and bend details, and the shop uses hydraulic benders and shears to produce pieces that match your layout within a half-inch tolerance. Stirrups arrive as closed rectangles or U-shapes with ninety-degree or hundred-thirty-five-degree hooks, ready to slide over longitudinal bars without field bending. Continuous bars ship in twenty-foot lengths unless you request shorter pieces to fit inside formwork or avoid laps in high-stress zones.


After placement, you see rebar grids sitting at the correct elevation on chairs or dobies, every intersection wired tight, and no bars twisted or kinked from improper handling. Local Steel Supply bundles bars by type and tags each bundle with a count and description, so your crew identifies bottom mat, top mat, and vertical bars without confusion. Inspectors verify spacing and cover using the fabrication drawings you received with the order, and concrete flows around bars without shifting them out of position.


You can order rebar alongside structural steel, panels, and accessories, consolidating your material sources and reducing the number of invoices your office processes each month. Delivery places bundles near the pour area, and smaller orders fit in a pickup bed with the tailgate down. Fabrication requires two to three days depending on complexity and shop workload, so calling ahead ensures bars arrive before your formwork crew finishes setting edges and screed rails.

Questions About Sizing and Delivery

Foundation crews regularly ask which bar size suits different slab thicknesses, how to handle non-standard bends, and whether fabrication includes delivery to the jobsite.

What size rebar should I use for a four-inch residential slab?

Number 3 bars at eighteen-inch spacing satisfy most residential codes, but thicker slabs or heavy equipment loads may require number 4 bars at tighter intervals.

How do I order stirrups for a grade beam?

Measure the beam width and depth, subtract cover requirements, then specify stirrup dimensions and hook length; Local Steel Supply fabricates them to match your beam schedule.

When should I request custom bends instead of field bending?

Custom bends save time and ensure consistent hook angles, especially for large projects where dozens of identical bars are needed and field bending risks inconsistent geometry.

Why do lap lengths vary by bar size?

Larger bars require longer laps to develop full tensile strength, so number 6 bars lap farther than number 3 bars even when both carry similar design loads.

How does delivery work for rebar orders in Kempner?

Local Steel Supply delivers bundles to the jobsite on flatbed trucks, placing them as close to the pour area as site access allows, and you unload using a forklift or by hand depending on bundle weight.
