Step 4: Install the First Course of Rebar

installing the first course of rebar

Lay a 5-foot length of #5 or #6 rebar in the main wall, across the T-intersection and secure it with ties at each web. This straight rebar is the horizontal wall stiffener. 

Add a 90° rebar dowel (L-bar) in every course, alternating left and right as you go up.

Use ties on the rebar to secure it and ensure it remains in place.
