Hi everyone.

I recently installed 8 wooden posts for a garage. The posts are mounted on 150×150 mm metal post bases that were set in concrete. Each post is about 3 meters (10 ft) long.

The garage size will be approximately 7 × 4.5 meters (23 × 15 ft). I need to trim all the posts so the final wall height is 2.3 meters (7.5 ft).

I know a laser level would be the easiest solution, but I don't have one. What methods would you recommend to transfer the same height accurately to all 8 posts?

I was considering:

• a water level (clear hose filled with water),
• a string line,
• a long straight board and spirit level.

Are there any other reliable methods for a project of this size?

Thanks for your advice!
