Add Steel Reinforcement

What happens here

With the first 1.5 inches of concrete laid, carefully place a pre-cut sheet of steel reinforcement mesh (often referred to as rebar mesh or wire mesh) on top of the wet concrete. The presenter uses an angle grinder to cut the mesh to the exact size required for the formwork. This reinforcement is critical for structural integrity, preventing the concrete from cracking due to expansion, contraction, or bending forces.

Goal: Once the initial concrete layer is spread, place steel reinforcement mesh on top to provide tensile strength and prevent cracking.
