Step 18: Place Vertical Reinforcement

Vertical rebar should be placed after the wall is completely stacked or before the last course is placed, but always before concrete is poured. This is typically every 12 to 48 inches vertically as specified. Additional vertical rebar on each side of openings as well as lintel steel above doors, windows, or other large openings is also required.
