Older techniques, like rebar, involve drilling through the post and pounding in a piece of rebar, or nailing a piece of wood to the post. Either one is only as strong as the material used to join it. Rebar is widely used in the construction industry to build floor slabs, walls, and concrete posts. Cracks are very common in construction projects, so adding the Rebar can prevent these cracks from ruining your project. Installing traditional rebar is a 6 step process, but our Uplift Plate can be installed in only 3 steps. Our Uplift Plate is Stronger Than Rebar, Quicker Than Rebar, and Better Than Rebar.
