Industrial rebar is a material more commonly associated with the construction industry, where it is used to reinforce concrete structures. However, we at Water Gems, could also see the potential to use rebar a variety of new and interesting ways in our garden designs.
We first started to experiment with woven rebar back in 2008 and since then, we have used woven and welded rebar across many of our projects. We have created shelters, platforms, path edging and retaining walls for flowerbeds, as well as a variety of sculptural and structural elements.
By successfully transforming and creating many gardens and outdoor spaces using industrial rebar, we have developed the understanding, knowledge and skills to utilise this material in many different, imaginative ways. Our expert team can design, create and build beautiful, interesting, sculptural shapes and textures, which will last well and still look fantastic in years to come.

Rebar Path Edging
Rebar has been used here to edge the finely compacted gravel paths constructed in 2009. 11 years later in 2020 they still look great.
Shaped Raised Beds and Planting Beds using Rebar
We used has woven and welded rebar to create differently-shaped retaining walls for flowerbeds.
Compost Shed
We built this structure in 2009 and still looks fantastic today, especially with the established planting around it.
Show Garden 2010
We designed and built this rebar structure for the 2010 Garden Scotland show, where we were awarded the gold medal and best in show. We used rebar to create a platform, shelter and sculptural tailpiece.
