Rebar tie wire is an integral part of reinforced concrete, as it helps secure rebar, or reinforced steel, before you pour concrete over it. Flexible and strong, rebar ties provide stability to maintain the rebar structure before concrete dries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s a rebar tie?
A: A rebar tie is the wire that builders use to join rebar, the reinforced steel that supports concrete shapes and slabs. The rebar tie wire holds the rebar in place before you pour the concrete. Rebar ties are flexible, strong and durable. You can also use rebar ties for purposes other than building, such as for supporting tall or vining garden vegetables.
Q: Do you need to tie rebar?
A: You need to tie rebar with rebar ties to hold the steel pieces together until you pour the concrete, and it sets. While rebar tie wire doesn’t add strength or integrity to the reinforced concrete, it’s a necessary material because it keeps the rebar from moving before the concrete dries, helping prevent cracks.
Q: How do you tie off rebar?
A: There are several ways to tie off rebar, including the snap, wrap-and-snap, saddle, wrap-and-saddle, and figure-eight ties. The most popular and easiest way to tie rebar is the snap tie, which is good for horizontal rebar surfaces. To complete a snap tie, wrap the rebar tie around the rebar joint, twist it and then snap off the wire. Other rebar ties work better for joining horizontal and vertical surfaces or for vertical surfaces alone. Be aware that some tie styles, including the saddle tie and figure eight tie, require tools.
