Strong, reliable concrete reinforcement starts with correct positioning, and Steel Mesh Chairs provide the support needed to keep reinforcing mesh at the correct height throughout the pour.
By lifting the steel mesh off the ground, they help ensure the reinforcement remains fully embedded within the concrete, allowing the slab to achieve its intended strength and durability.
Whether you're working on domestic foundations, industrial floors, driveways, or commercial concrete slabs, steel mesh chairs make installation quicker, more accurate, and more consistent.
Once the concrete is poured, the chairs continue to hold the reinforcement securely in place, reducing the risk of mesh movement caused by foot traffic or the flow of wet concrete.
Manufactured from durable steel, these mesh supports are designed to withstand the demands of busy construction sites while providing dependable support across the entire slab.
Their robust construction ensures they won't easily deform under the weight of reinforcing mesh, helping maintain the specified concrete cover required by engineers and building regulations.
Available in three different heights, they make it easy to achieve the correct reinforcement level for a wide variety of slab depths and applications.
Selecting the correct chair height helps improve structural performance, reduce the risk of reinforcement exposure, and contribute to a longer-lasting concrete finish.
Whether you're a professional contractor, builder or groundworker, steel mesh chairs offer a simple but essential solution for producing stronger, more reliable reinforced concrete.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What are steel mesh chairs used for?
Steel mesh chairs are used to support reinforcing mesh at the correct height before and during a concrete pour.
This ensures the reinforcement is positioned within the concrete as specified, allowing it to perform effectively once the concrete has cured.
Why is correct concrete cover important?
Concrete cover protects reinforcing steel from moisture, corrosion and fire while allowing the reinforcement to strengthen the slab as designed.
Using the correct height of mesh chair helps achieve the required cover.
Which size should I choose?
The correct height depends on the required position of the reinforcing mesh within the concrete slab.
We supply:
- Steel Mesh Chairs 50mm High – 50m Pack
- Steel Mesh Chairs 100mm High – 50m Pack
- Steel Mesh Chairs 150mm High – 50m Pack
Always follow your engineer's drawings or project specification when selecting the appropriate height.
Can these be used for domestic and commercial projects?
Yes. Steel mesh chairs are suitable for a wide range of reinforced concrete applications, including house foundations, extensions, garages, driveways, agricultural buildings, warehouses and commercial floor slabs.
Will the chairs move when concrete is poured?
When installed correctly and spaced appropriately, steel mesh chairs provide stable support that helps minimise reinforcement movement during the concrete pour.
How many mesh chairs will I need?
The quantity required depends on the size of the slab, the weight of the reinforcing mesh and the specified spacing.
Larger or heavier reinforcement installations typically require more frequent support.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Steel mesh chairs are intended for use within reinforced concrete in both internal and external construction projects.
Can they be cut to size?
Steel mesh chairs are supplied in standard lengths and are typically installed as supplied.
Where necessary, they can be cut using appropriate metal cutting tools to suit specific project requirements.
