  • Set up the tripod in a Central position within the range of all blinds

  • When using the Laser Level to measure the top point you must use the shortest measurement (lowest high point) so blind is level at the top. The bottom measurements are to stay as is to compensate for ground levels being uneven.
  • When measuring multiple blinds you will need to make sure the Laser Level is left to the Original Mark. This will allow you to keep all head boxes level to each other. Please see picture above.

  • Fill the top gap using aluminium angles or flashings if required.
