Roof over mobil home?
Question:I want to add a roof over on a mobil home and I need to know how to get it squared up, when only one side can be viewed at one time ,I can only see two corner's at one time . question is how do I get the square
Answers:
Make the square oversize then measure in.
If I understand your question, then all you need to see is 2 corners at the same time. If you can square 2 then move to the next one then the last one. From there back to the first and if not on line then adjust. If you can measure from corners across the top not just down the sides it is easier to do.
I guess I'd agree except that a common way to determine "Square" is to measure/run two lines from corners to corners to determine square in the first place, and I live in a CAN now and have before and have never found any, so out of square that they looked abstract.

Simple. When your four end posts are in place, measure with a string on the diagonal from corner to corner. Mark the string on the first measure, then take the second. If they come out the same, its square.
