The rebar support device comprises at least one concrete bonding opening dispersed throughout, at least one rebar support chase with bendable retaining gates, and at least one grade stake support hole. The rebar support device is held in a vertical position for receiving rebar by driving a grade stake through the stake support holes, such that the rebar support device is disposed perpendicularly to the rebar it receives. The rebar is then cradled in one or more of the support chases and retained by a bendable retaining gate incorporated into each rebar support device above each support chase.
