Re: Odd Shaped Decks
Kirk,
Measure the perimeter in some pattern, such as shown in the attached drawing - marking the measurement points (not drawing lines). When done measuring, draw the straight lines first by connecting the dots, that puts you drawing straight lines on straight graph lines, making it easy enough to do - leaving the angled lines off until the end.
That makes it easy to draw odd shapes.
Start on one point and measure your way around the deck, picking out places to measure to, and, as shown for 5, sometimes measure to make sure you are measuring at right angles.
Than, for the angles, simply draw the angled lines from the points you mark on your graph paper, completing the odd shape.
