Reinforcement Supplies
Reinforcement mesh, trench mesh, bars, chairs, tie wire and accessories for slabs, footings and structural concrete.
Every concrete slab or footing depends on reinforcement specified and placed correctly. Our Reinforcement range covers the mesh, bar, trench mesh and fixing accessories used across residential and commercial concrete work. Reinforcement is a quote-request category — pricing depends on quantity, specification and delivery, so request a quote and we'll respond with an accurate price.
Choosing the Right Reinforcement
Which reinforcement you need depends on what you're building. Square and rectangular mesh are the standard choice across slabs and suspended structures; trench mesh is a narrower, higher-strength strip used in strip footings and trenches rather than a broad slab area. For structural elements beyond a standard slab \xe2\x80\x94 footings, columns, retaining structures \xe2\x80\x94 deformed bar, round bar, starter bars and corner bars come into play, each suited to a different role in the structure. All of it is manufactured to AS/NZS 4671, the Australian/New Zealand standard for steel reinforcing materials.
Reinforcement is quote-request only across the board, since pricing genuinely depends on quantity, specification and delivery rather than a fixed per-unit rate. The quickest way to a quote is to have your project type, approximate area or run length, and delivery suburb ready \xe2\x80\x94 our Reinforcement Mesh, Rebar and Trench Mesh calculators can give you a starting estimate before you request pricing.
We supply reinforcement for both residential slab work and larger commercial and structural projects across Melbourne \xe2\x80\x94 the same ARC-supplied stock whether it's a house slab or a larger structural pour.

Frequently Asked Questions
What standard does your reinforcement mesh and bar meet?
Our ARC reinforcement range is manufactured to AS/NZS 4671, the Australian/New Zealand standard for steel reinforcing materials.
What's the difference between square mesh, rectangular mesh and trench mesh?
Square and rectangular mesh are typically used across slabs and suspended structures; trench mesh is a narrower, higher-strength strip mesh used in strip footings and trenches. We stock all three, alongside deformed bar, round bar, starter bars and corner bars for structural work.
Why is Reinforcement a quote-request category instead of instant online pricing?
Reinforcement pricing depends on quantity, bar/mesh specification and delivery logistics, so we price it per request rather than a fixed online rate — submit a quote request and we'll respond with an accurate price.
Do you supply bar chairs and spacers to hold reinforcement at the correct height?
Yes — bar chairs, spacers, tie wire and the other fixing accessories used to position and secure reinforcement are stocked alongside the mesh and bar.
How much mesh or bar do I need for my slab or footing?
Our Reinforcement Mesh, Rebar and Trench Mesh calculators can give you a starting estimate based on your project's dimensions — for an exact specification, request a quote and we'll confirm quantities with you.
Do you supply reinforcement for commercial projects, not just residential slabs?
Yes — alongside standard residential slab mesh, we stock deformed bar, round bar, starter bars and corner bars used in commercial and structural concrete work.
