Have you tried a Google or Yahoo search for Great West Models? Doc

In my neck of the woods, rebar isn't used in sidewalks. If you use it, don't over do the rust as inspectors won't allow it if it is too bad. You sometimes find a wire mesh, typically with 6" spacing. The suggested window screen might work for this. Doc
