Both corner-to-corner
measurements should
be equal.
Adjust corner stakes
together until diagonals
are equal.
Tip:
An orange masons
line is easier to see.
2. Based on the length of the FieldPro you have ordered,
place a stake at point #3. Attach a masons line from Stake
#2 to stake #3. Use the 3 • 4 • 5 Triangle Method to square
up the corner at stake #2 to establish a 90° corner.
3. Place a stake at point #4. Attach a masons line from stake
#1 to stake #4. Use the 3 • 4 • 5 Triangle Method to square
up the corner at stake #1 to establish a 90° corner.
4. Attach a masons line from Stake #3 to Stake #4.
Make sure all lines are level.
Note: It is very important to accurately layout the building outline. It helps to
have someone assist you with laying out the building location.
1. Drive a temporary stake at point #1. Measure over 30and drive in another
stake at point #2. Attach a twisted masons line between stakes #1 and #2
approximately 12above ground. Use a line level to level the masons line.

The “3:4:5 Triangle Method” of layout for a building produces a
perfect 90º corner as shown in the diagram. It forces your
foundation layout to be a perfect rectangle instead of a
parallelogram. The basic approach is to roughly layout your
string lines to the overall dimensions needed for whatever
size building. Then square-up one corner with a tape
measure using the 3:4:5 rule. Then move to any adjoining
corner to the first corner, and proceed the same way.
