Concrete Reinforcement

What happens here

Ron explains that for the apron, a 6x6 10/10 gauge wire mesh is being used for reinforcement. For concrete steps, rebar is typically used. He notes that for wider sections of the apron, rebar might also be incorporated depending on the expected load and width of the slab. When placing reinforcement, it's crucial to lift the wire mesh or rebar so that it's embedded in the middle third of the concrete slab, roughly 2-3 inches from the bottom, to provide optimal structural integrity.

Goal: Properly reinforce concrete with wire mesh and rebar.
