Q: What is GatorBar Glass?
GatorBar glass is a composite rebar manufactured in the U.S. More specifically, it is a Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP).
Q: Where can I use GatorBar?
GatorBar can replace steel in most applications. E.g. Pavements, patios, parking lots, curbs, sidewalks, foundations, footing, agricultural (grain bins), and many other areas.
Q: How much does GatorBar cost?
#3 GatorBar is about 15-20% Cheaper than a #4 Steel Rebar, and can be purchased in much smaller quantities. This will save you money in Inventory dollars and space.
Q: Do I need any special tools or blades when working with GatorBar?
No. You can use all of the same tools that you are currently using when working with steel rebar- including field ties.
Q: Can I bend GatorBar?
It depends. GatorBar has a natural flexibility; however, it can not be bent to a 90 degree angle. For hard 90 degree angles it will need to be cut and field tied. 90's are available in 18" & 24" corners (25 Pc Sub-bundles).
