Triangulation ... square up easily

When laying out structures, the easiest way to get a right angle is to use triangulation.

If you have a triangle with sides in a ratio of 3:4:5, the angle between the 3 and the 4 will always be a right angle.

Use a tape and any multiples of 3, 4 and 5 to check for square.

Example:

0900 (3 x3 )

1200 (4 x 3)

1500 (5 x 3)
