I am building my own house. My foundations are supposed to be 600mm wide and 300mm deep with a layer of A393 mesh 75mm from the bottom. The A393 mesh has been delivered and is 4.8 x 2.4m sheets. Ideally I would cut the sheets into four 600mm wide strips. If I do this I end up with some of the long bars right at the side of the foundations. Looking at a cross section of the foundations it would look like this:
-B---------------------B---------------------B-----------------
rather than
----------B--------------------B--------------------B----------
Does this matter? If I wanted to get the long bars “centrally” in the foundations then I would have to cut the mesh into three strips and then trim some of it off which seems a waste.
Thanks
Andrew
