You can order RMS reinforcing steel, welded mesh and reinforcing accessories online, at any hour, with every price shown including VAT. Choose delivery to your site anywhere in Gauteng, or collect your order free from our Germiston head office. This guide shows what is in the RMS online shop, how to work out how much you need, and how ordering, payment and delivery work.
Who the RMS online shop is for
The RMS online shop is for projects in Gauteng. It suits:
- Builders and building contractors
- Steel fixers and bricklayers
- Civil, paving and landscaping teams
- Homeowners managing their own extension, boundary wall, driveway or slab
If you need standard reinforcing steel, mesh and accessories delivered to your site anywhere in Gauteng, or ready to collect in Germiston, this is the quickest way to order. For projects outside Gauteng, and for cut and bend or larger orders, order the traditional way: your nearest RMS branch will quote you, and our nine branches serve customers nationwide.
Why buy your steel online from RMS
- Save up to 40%. Like for like, with VAT included on both sides, our Y bar and R bar prices were up to 40% lower than another South African reinforcing steel supplier’s published online prices in our price comparison of October 2026. A 6 m length of Y12 is R88,68 including VAT.
- One order for the whole job. Bars, mesh, brickforce, binding wire, spacers, safety caps and plastic sheeting are all in one shop, so the steel and everything that goes with it arrives together.
- The price you see is the price you pay. Every price includes VAT, and the delivery fee is shown before you pay.
- Open 24 hours a day. Order from site, after hours or at the weekend.
- Delivered or collected. Delivery anywhere in Gauteng, or free collection in Germiston. Deliveries and collections happen during RMS working hours, Monday to Thursday 07:00 to 16:30 and Friday 07:00 to 15:00.

Work out what you need first
Ordering the right quantity saves money and time on site, so start with the free RMS calculators:
- Rebar Calculator: the total weight of your Y bar and R bar order, by bar size, length and quantity.
- Advanced Rebar Calculator: a full bending schedule across several elements, with a grand total weight and a PDF you can download.
- Mesh Calculator: how much welded mesh a slab, pavement or precast element needs, by dimensions and mesh type.
- Brickforce Calculator: brickforce for your walls in metres and full rolls, from wall length, height and how often it is laid.
- Concrete Slab Estimator: concrete volume, mesh sheets and spacers for a slab, from its size and thickness.
Every product page links to the calculator that suits it, so you can work out the numbers and come straight back to order. For more on quantities, read How Much Reinforcing Steel Do I Need? and Welded Mesh Explained.
