I think the main thing to remember is that the purpose of the welding or wire for that matter is to keep the rebar cage in tact until it has been covered in concrete. Once the concrete cures, it make

For my HDX555 last year, I built my cage in the hole (actually my son did) with no problems. All of the rebar pieces were cut to the drawing specs prior to assembly. I had the horizontal pieces (squa

A Ufer ground doesn't necessarily call for a welded rebar cage. The NEC code doesn't require it, and there have been several studies showing that properly wired rebar provides sufficient conductivity

Hi Dick, Thanks for your email. You're right, whether or not a rebar cage requires welding depends on local codes and/or whose advice you listen to. I worked mostly from the information supplied by P

That's pretty much my take on it. I built mine almost 30 years ago, and tack welded the rebar together using a homebuilt arc welder. I don't see how that would weaken the rebar, since it didn't thor

Folks should be aware that there's a lot of discussion and variation among what the local officials will want (notwithstanding what the NEC allows).. There's a big running dispute about whether its o
