2. TO SQUARE UP THE STRUCTURE, MEASURE DIAGONALLY.
THESE MEASUREMENTS SHOULD BE THE SAME. ADJUST
THE POSITIONS OF ONE PAIR OF END STAKES, WHILE
MAINTAINING THE PROPER SPACING, UNTIL THE DIAGONALS
ARE EQUAL. ONCE THIS IS COMPLETE, CHECK ALL FOUR
SIDES OF THE LAYOUT FOR CORRECT MEASUREMENTS.

LEVEL OR TO A DEFINED SLOPE. SET UP ELEVATION
REFERENCE MARKERS OUTSIDE EACH CORNER.

CONCRETE PIERS FOR POST ANCHORS, INSTALL THE

POSTS AND PLACE A MARK ON EACH GROUND
STAKE 4" BELOW THE STRING. FOR LONGER
