Ground stakes are driven
into the ground using the
Driving Tool (HT1001) until
the top of the ground
stake is 12
above the soil
line.
A masons (twisted) line is
attached between all four
corner stakes 8
from the
top of stakes. Use a line
level to line up all the
stakes at the 8
mark.
For longer structures, the
masons line may need to
be supported every 50
to prevent sagging. Sight
down the line visually to
check the straightness of
the line.
Ground stands are
placed into a 6
diameter
(min.) hole. The top of the
ground stand will be 12
above the soil line.
Ensure that the ground
stands remain plumb
while compacting the soil
all around.
