Does anybody know where one can obtain steel reinforcing bar as used

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

thanks

Most builders merchants do it in set sizes, or a specalist
reinforcement (use yellow pages) will make it to size & shape.
10mm is the more standard size in builders merchants, in my
experience.

Thank you Rick.


I did some phoning of builders' merchants this afternoon - about hafl a
dozen of them. All said that they carry it, but none had stock. One
said that they would have it "in a couple of days" and the rest weren't
sure.

Next stop is steel stockholders and the like to see what they have.
