I am Rachel Mathews from SuccessfulGardenDesign.Com. In this second video tutorial you'll see
how to draw up a survey plan from the survey that we did the other day.
Now we've got a rough survey done, we need to get this into a scale plan.
A scale of 1 to 50 means that every one centimeter on the paper is equal to 50 centimeters on the ground.
Now the best wall to start with is going to be the house wall because we know that that's definitely
a straight line so we'll take our measurements from that. I have the house measurement across
here. Now we need to put in the other boundary lines, but because we don't know if everything
is square to the house, we need to cross reference each measurement. We know 315 is there. What
I am going to do is just do several measurements, I don't know exactly how it's going to be.
So 315 across there. So let me see, I've got little, a little line in there. So we
know that it's going to end up somewhere, but we don't know exactly where. Now to
find out the exact location of this, we take our cross measurement, which is eight meters,
20- I need a slightly longer ruler for that. Put this here and move it along until 820
intersects this line. And that's just, just there.
And then we can draw a line in across the top. That's almost square to the house,
but not quite. It's just a little but of. You can get rid of the excess line.
So, you can see, the reason it is important to take the
measurements from here to here, and from here to here is cause if we assumed that is was
perfectly straight from the house, we would've got the shape wrong. So it would've come
right across there and it would've been incorrect. So by measuring from the cross
angles that way you make sure you position these corners in the right place. So as you
can see we've gone from a very scruffy survey drawing
to actual the drawing that I am going to be working on when it comes to the design.
