Default Steel reinforcing bar for concrete

Does anybody know where one can obtain steel reinforcing bar as used for
concrete (ridged) in 16 or 20mm diameter? I believe these are standard
sizes.

I only need a relatively small quantity - about 4x 2m lengths or
equivalent

thanks

Your first port of call should be a steel stockholders, look in your Yellow
Pages. Ask them for any offcuts. A steel stockholder should also be able to
cut and bend them to your spec, if required. They're usually flexible on
price so look exasperated when given the first price.

Are you sure you need 16mm or 20mm bars? They also come in 6mm, 8mm, 10mm
and 12mm dia. Larger diameters are also available.
