Wall top angle measurement
Hi,
I've been doing a bit of landscaping over the summer (?) and have terraced my garden with a few low retaining walls. My intention was to buy some stone (or concrete) blocks to work as coping stones, but I've failed to find anything suitable and so have bought some preasure treated wood to do the job instead. Having messed up some skirting a few years ago by not correctly measuring the angles of the corners of the room and assuming them to be 90 degrees (please, nobody else do this) I would like to get the wooden wall tops fitted with tighter joints, but how do I accurately measure the angles? Does anyone have any foolproof techniques to measuring internal or external angles of walls for use when calulating mitre cuts? Ideally i'd prefer some method whereby I don't have to go out and buy a special angle measurement tool (ashamedly I don't even have a sliding bevel), and i'd even consider maths as a way out so long as it works! Any thoughts? M |
