Hi
This is in deed a great site .
My question is how do you set up the base for a patio that slopes in two directions. I tried bending the flag but that would not work.

Do I need two string lines?

and if you scroll down to where it says "pro's & cons" you can see a picture of mitre sawn flags which can be used for a change of angle:

Are the two directions opposite or perpendicular?

Two string lines would be good - 4 would be better. Think about it!
