Keydet08 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Working on building metal bases for 3/4 PVC walls. Basically going to be a cross of 1.25 inch x 1/8 inch steel strip with a piece of rebar for the vertical to fit into the PVC. The inside diameter of schedule 40 3/4 PVC is 0.824in. I don’t know if I should get #5 or #6 rebar. The nominal diameters of the rebar are 5/8 and 3/4 but I don’t know and can’t seem to find the actual outside measurements of the rebar. Does anyone know the actual outside dimensions or have any experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Don't get rebar. It varies too much. Regular round stock is not much more expensive and a whole lot easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keydet08 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure where you are looking but at the prices I have seen the round bar is 4.5 times more expensive than equivalent nominal diameter rebar. For 60 feet it’s $100 vs $450. I’m going to use the cheapest viable option. Edited February 4, 2020 by Keydet08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
