neutral  B D Finch: Your website shows that the chairs are supports (usually temporary) for the reinforcement bars. They are not, themselves, the reinforcement.//Does rebar rust when exposed to beer?

  -> That's why I elaborated with an explanation. One assumes that a translator using English as source language will have a reasonable understanding of it.
