Stake&String Start a layout

For the volunteers who line the fields

Lay out the field right the first time.

Type the field size. Stake & String gives your crew the tape readings: how to square the corners, where every line, arc and spot goes, how many feet of line you will paint and how many cans that takes.

Four numbers square a full-size field.

From the sheet above, straight from the calculator. A crew with two tapes and four stakes needs nothing else to get the box right.

  2. B to C, across210 ft
  3. A to C, the diagonal391 ft 2 in
  4. B to D, must match A to C391 ft 2 in

How a crew uses a sheet

  1. 1

    Stake A, run the near side

    One stake, one tape along the side you can see best.

  2. 2

    Swing the diagonal

    Where the width from B meets the diagonal from A is corner C. Same again for D.

  3. 3

    Tape every mark

    Each point has two tape readings from the corners at its end, or an along-and-in offset.

  4. 4

    String, then paint

    Arcs come with their string length. The tally tells you how much line, and cans from your own label.

Park plan

Three fields, one open lot, ten yards between.

List the fields, give the gap and the margin, and the planner fits them, turning a field when that is what makes it fit. Each field gets the measurement from one reference corner to its own first corner.
