Stonesmith Patented Systems, Inc. is the manufacturer of BARTARGET. This innovative, simple to use rebar management system provides much more than rebar centering or serving as a rebar tying device. BARTARGET performs three primary functions in CMU construction requiring reinforced masonry: (1) it is a rebar centering device, (2) it ensures that rebar splice overlap meets the building code rebar splice overlap requirement for each and every rebar splice, and (3) it eliminates rebar tying and lifting over and around protruding rebar.
BARTARGET was recognized as the Most Innovative Product (MIP) in the Masonry Tools and Equipment category at World of Concrete (WOC) 2007. This inherently safe work product enhances masonry safety, mason productivity, and construction project profitability by reducing exposure to muscular skeletal stress, Musculosketal Disorders (MSD), Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD), mason fatigue, and work place injuries associated with exposed rebar. BARTARGET is an excellent productivity enhancement compliment to masonry products such as Self-Consolidating Grout (SCG). To learn more about BARTARGET visit our Products page.

Jim Duran Brick, LLC from Trinidad, Colorado was contracted to do the install and performed the work. Sherry Corporation of Virginia Beach, Virginia has also used BARTARGET in a residential retaining wall project.
