Lock Bar & Waler Bar Concrete Form Rentals

Comprehensive lock bar & waler bar concrete form rentals tailored to your project needs.

Concrete Form Rental System

Complete concrete forming system using the most common and efficient method in North America. Our lightweight plywood panel system includes 2-foot and 4-foot wide panels in heights from 16 inches to 96 inches, with hinged corners for faster setup. Stackable panels allow for custom heights. This system saves 50% in labor time compared to traditional hand-framed forms and uses 65% fewer nails with no material waste.

Lock Bar & Waler Bar Rentals

Professional steel lock bars and waler bars in lengths from 1 foot to 8 feet, compatible with standard quick-strip concrete form ties. Our lock bar system reduces the need for 2x4 walers, cutting material costs and labor while providing superior holding strength. Ideal for foundation walls, retaining walls, and any vertical concrete forming application. Can be used with both our panel system and traditional 1x8 lumber.

Concrete Form Aligners & Bracing

Complete inventory of turnbuckle aligners and bracing systems for perfectly straight foundation and retaining walls. Our adjustable bracing systems attach to 2x4s and concrete forms, making it easy to align and support vertical wall forms. Fully adjustable for precise alignment and proven to deliver professional results on residential and commercial projects.

Delivery & Pickup Service

Professional delivery of all rental equipment directly to your job site throughout Greater Victoria, Cowichan Valley, and surrounding areas. We drop off forms, lock bars, and accessories when you need them and pick everything up after your pour is complete, leaving your site clean and ready for drainage installation and backfilling. No need to waste time driving around gathering materials.
