Foundation (Forno Bravo instructions)

[biondoli]

On the Forno Bravo instruction page 59 Ver. 1.2 Material list 36" oven it states:

(8) 10' lengths of 1/2" rebar, (4) cut to 80";(4) cut to 94"
(4) 2"x6"x8' studs for framing, (2) cut to 83";(2) cut to 94"

My question is, if the slab is only 71x80", why do I need such longer rebar and stud framing?
Am I missing something? thanks Carlo

I'm not sure why it lists those sizes.

I cut my rebar 4 inches shorter than my forms. That way I had 2 inches of clearance on both sides. I think this is standard, but Uno would know for sure.

So just cut them to fit in your forms with some clearance on both sides.
