ARC supplies a comprehensive range of standard N grade, 500 MPa deformed reinforcing bar (D500N). Stock lengths are available off-the-shelf, but reinforcing bar is often supplied processed (cut, bent, threaded) or fabricated to suit the specific requirements of the project.
Specially formulated reinforcing bar for use in domestic concrete swimming pools to meet AS 2783.
Designed to be easily cut and bent into shape on site to speed up construction times and allow complete freedom of design.
Bars are 12mm diameter, grade D250N to meet AS/NZS 4671 and are available in 6 or 9m stock lengths.
These processed bars are normally used to tie reinforced masonry or concrete walls to slabs or footings, as designed by the engineer. Cut and bent to shape from standard deformed reinforcing bar, grade D500N. Common shapes are listed but others can be made to order. Meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4671.
These bars are used to tie together two elements of a structure that are at right angles to each other, such as walls, slabs or beams, as designed by the engineer. Cut and bent to shape from standard deformed reinforcing bar, grade D500N. Common shapes are listed but others can be made to order. Meet the requirements of AS/NZS 4671.
A full range of ligatures (fitments) manufactured from round reinforcing bar, grade R250N, to suit all requirements. Commonly used to separate top and bottom layers of Trench Mesh in residential slabs or for fabricating beam or column cages. Common square and rectangular shapes in 6mm and 10mm bar are listed below. Other shapes and sizes can be manufactured to order. All ligatures meet AS/NZS 4671.
This general purpose mesh is used for reinforcing flat concrete elements such as floor slabs and walls.
Square mesh is manufactured from L grade ribbed wires (D500L) that are welded together with equal spacing in both directions to form square apertures.
Square mesh is available in sheets of two sizes:
- Full size mesh sheets are 6m x 2.4m with side lap wires to minimise the laps between sheets on large areas
- 4B2 Mesh® is the same high quality mesh but produced in a handy 2m x 4m sheet, perfect for smaller jobs like driveways or DIY.

Trench Mesh is made specifically for use in residential footing trenches.
Made from grade D500L ribbed reinforcing wire, Trench Mesh is made using a variety of longitudinal wires up to 12mm diameter.
Cross wires are at 300mm centres. Sheets are made in 6m lengths, with widths varying from depending on the number of longitudinal wires. The longitudinal wires are at 100mm centres.
The product code, for example L8TM3, refers to the ductility grade (L), diameter of main wires (8) and the number of main wires (3).
Other sizes are available, so check with your local ARC Sales Representative.
Plastic slab-on-ground spacers are suitable for supporting both reinforcing mesh and bar in slab-on-ground applications.
- Slab-on-ground spacers are made to cover two heights
- These bar chairs are a dual-size plastic reinforcing
- They have a flat base to minimise penetration through the waterproof membrane
- The bar chairs are supplied stacked in the bag to minimise storage space
The steel-wire spacer's legs are protected with a film of plastic. Plastic-tipped bar chairs can be used in suspended slabs, beams, vertical walls and slab on ground applications.
- Range of heights from 20mm to 360mm
- Ensures consistent placement of reinforcement in slabs
- Requires no adjustment after pouring of concrete
Metal base
Metal bases are round metal plates that support wire bar chairs on soft surfaces.
- Prevents the wire spacer sinking into the ground
- Metal base sizes are available to suit bar chairs up to 200mm in height
Wire Trench Mesh Clips provide a fast and efficient method for achieving a rigid cage for foundations.
- Suitable for bar sizes 8TM, 11TM and 12TM
- Provides cover from 150mm to 500mm
