A concrete reinforcement support spacer for supporting reinforcement bars at a desired elevation above a substrate during concrete pouring operations. The spacer comprises a serpentine body extending between a first end and a second end and forming alternating concave and convex portions. The serpentine body includes a top surface configured to support at least one reinforcement bar, a bottom portion, and a plurality of support feet extending downwardly from the bottom portion to rest on the substrate. An internal void space is formed within the serpentine body and is configured to receive poured concrete to facilitate full integration of the spacer with the cured concrete. In preferred embodiments, the bottom portion comprises at least one serpentine-shaped bottom portion that independently forms its own serpentine configuration. The spacer can be traversed by workers after reinforcement placement, can be vertically stacked to adjust reinforcement elevation, and can be cut to accommodate non-standard spacing requirements. The spacer is preferably manufactured as a unitary structure from recycled polymeric materials.
