PSA: Using a string level on long runs will trick you every time
I was setting a 200-foot vinyl fence line in Omaha last week and kept getting dips until I switched to a line level with a 50-foot mason's string. The bubble on a 4-footer just doesn't cut it for that span. Anybody else fight with sag on long stretches?

Jumped right into a 200-foot fence line with just a 4-footer? Man, that's asking for trouble. I learned that lesson the HARD way when I tried laying out a long paver path with a torpedo level and ended up with a massive low spot that collected water every time it rained. Switched to a water level and it was like night and day, no sag to fight with at all.

Man, @wesleypatel, did you have to redo that whole paver path or just patch the low spot?
