How To Tie Rebar And Set Panels

In todays video I'm going show you how to tie rebar and the different ties I use to install rebar. After the rebar is installed we will show you the hardware and methods we use to set concrete forms.

Dammit boi. Ur a concrete finisher and a Rodbuster? Ur the man

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Yah Ive learned a thing or two over the years lol. When I was young I actually went to Ironworker school to join the apprenticeship. But ended up going back into concrete but also only worked for people in commercial concrete and performed all phases from form work, rebar, and finishing. Super blessed to have worked and learned that way because it definitely gave me a lot of options and not to only be limited to one skill when there are so many to be a true concrete mason.

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Heck yeah bro! I've tied so much steel in my life I always like tying up post tension decks. Run them cabels and most everything done under a crane

[@TroiOi78]

Been awhile since I've watched a whole video. Thank you for sharing!

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching 🤙🏽

[@sumonkazi]

Good job, I'm very intrastated it’s work.

[@e4thefee857]

You busting rods 🤟🏾you ain’t a wire twister 🌪 your a rod buster 🖤🖤

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Thanks bro I've learned how to tie rebar doing commercial concrete for half of my career of 22 years. Pliers and a tie wire wheel are the only way in my eyes

[@nhickcox02]

When doing snap ties If you cross your arms before you pass the wire behind the bar you get an extra twist in the wire..... meaning holding the pliers in your right hand pass the wire around the right side of the bar and grab the wire with your pliers (being held with your right hand) on the left side of the bar

[@joseelzorrillo8699]

Thank you for your information!

@9:35 that's some shoddy concrete work.

Thanks so much very helpful

[@hot-soup7830]

you did great job...

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Damn dude 10k views, wow is this yur best video? Great video even though I don't do comercial

[@thatjuanshow4485]

I've always been on both sides of concrete commercial and residential I prefer residential flat work but like commercial money

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@@thatjuanshow4485 everyone likes residential but commercial is the way to go if I was just a finisher not an owner I believe, benefits ect ect overtime lol

[@DarkMoonDroid]

Fascinating.

[@mathme866]

Excellent job... I learnt a lot

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Thank you glad it helped!

[@umbertogalasso1280]

We in Australia use end cutters nips which is faster than pliers and we don't use snap ties they are dangerous as it snaps while pouring concrete we use caulties and bolts with use form ply and 4×3 timbers witch stronger

[@turkishwhiteout]

That’s cuz you aussies don’t no how to to make a good snap tie. A snap tie done properly won’t break under concrete...

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Have u ever used a wire tie gun? I never have cuz we don't really use rebar around here

[@thatjuanshow4485]

I've used tie wire guns my opinion on them is there way to expensive for what they can do . Your limited to only one style tie and they don't tie very tight the jam a lot and if you are going to use them it's best to only use them on slabs so a tight tie don't matter as much. I think wire wheel and Kline pliers and the only way to go. I've had people use them in a commercial work setting and had the inspector call us out on sloppy ties. Just my opinion

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

@@thatjuanshow4485 I've never used 1 b4. I have used twirls though, they don't get tight at all

[@karloz416.]

I would’ve set templates with the verticals every so often then lace up the horizontals then fill it in . So your don’t do double the ties.

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Good idea I'll keep that in mind👍🏼

[@OshawaStateOfMind]

Was looking for this comment. Then the wall is more solid with even less ties, that’s how we do it in the field.

[@smallnuts2]

At 3 minutes in. I'm going to have to get this down. Doing a yard project is so I'm new to concrete but, my rebar kept sliding down. I was wondering, do they make stakes will drill holes 3ft and taller? Can see to find any. I'm doing a 2ft high retaining wall in my backyard.

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Are you building a wall with no footings? If so a lot of 2x4 stakes and 2x4 gussets would hold you straight along with what ever size clips your using at one foot on center top and bottom and each side of upper and lower seems. I recommend pouring a footing the setting wall on top I've seen alot of walls fail in my life with no footings they tend to fall over. And if you're going mono footing wall pour and a concrete supply store they sell mono cleats that nail to your footing forms then clip sits on that and forms will sit in them. So many ways so many possibilities I hope this helps And if not hit me back up and we'll try again. Good luck

[@smallnuts2]

@@thatjuanshow4485 thanks, I'll look into doing footings. I'm in Phoenix, barely rains but the reason I'm doing this is because I leveled my backyard. So making a 2ft high retaining wall 8 inches thick 20 ft long.

[@joshuaainge7218]

I’m just North of you, man. Are you in the union?

[@thatjuanshow4485]

No non union

[@gabezCHNL]

What number bar is that 4?

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Yes the bar for that was #4 bar 60 grade

[@williamwhitehouse3582]

Your a very heavy breather Juan

[@thatjuanshow4485]

That's what it sounds like when a man is working haha

[@williamwhitehouse3582]

Ahh ok I wouldn’t know

[@jamesobanion5559]

Tie the horizontals to the dowels first.

[@seanwright8786]

Hey Juan, I apologize for all the ties that you rodbusters made that I undid trying to get my electrical boxes, stub-up pipes, or sleeves in.😅 Hey bro, the job would be boring with out the rodbusters.

[@thatjuanshow4485]

We're all one happy family bro! Keep safe out there bud🤙🏼

[@roddiener1235]

Hey Sean, as a retired Rodbuster with 30yrs in I'd just like to apologize for all the boxes and conduit we smashed and kicked out of our way on PT decks because Sparky put that shit down before they were supposed to.....said no rodbuster ever...

you did not teach me a ding-dong thing...show your work.

[@sadiqjesani6517]

you Hiring > ?

[@thatjuanshow4485]

I dont work in that area anymore but my friend i was helping in this video probably is

[@danielbriggs7337]

Why would you build the outside and then do the rebar? So you’re not screwing yourself from walking around in circles

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Check out my other vids I'm pretty good at bar and the process. I'm pretty sure I tied it first while my buddy started the panels. But either way thanks for watching

[@mikesquires4277]

Anyone of the street can learn to tie rebar in a day. Even if a tie is poorly tied its still good enough. Most overrated trade.

[@danielbriggs7337]

Face the rainbow bowed panel inside when stacking

[@thatjuanshow4485]

Thanks for the great input!

[@EricJohnson-yx3cq]

Even ur snap ties are loose

[@thatjuanshow4485]

That's because it wasn't 100% yet . We still had a bit more work to do before being pour ready like putting the rest of the shoes on the snap ties , shoot grade , straighten wall ext . Thanks for watching though 👍🏼
