Lamp Irons - also known as road pins. Thicker the better, 15mm ones are the ones to have, the spindly ones are crap.

I know this may sound very basic to most of you but how do I get a 5m string line straight when I have nothing really to measure it to? I can of course eyeball it but that won't be accurate enough.

Cheers

set out a box with your string line then square it up.
