  • I am fitting a pole in a small utility room, to hang wet washing off and the like.

    I need the pole to span from wall to all at exactly 90 to ensure it is the right length and that it lands correctly in the wall fittings.

    I have a lazer level which will make sure it is vertically level, but trying to find a way to make the pole perpendicular to both walls and level is thrashing my head.

    Anyone got any pro tips?

  • Could you drill a hole on one wall where you want the pole to be, then fix your lazer to the hole and pew-pew it to the other wall?

    I guess the risk is your lazer might not be fitted straight.

    If your walls aren't perfectly true there's a good chance that doing by eye will end up looking straighter anyway. I remember as a teenager spending ages mounting an acrylic sign perfectly level only for it to look wonky and shit because it was an old house and nothing was straight. Did it by eye and it looked perfect.

    Yeah did exactly that, mounted shelving level, realised radiator was way off anyway and looks wrong. At least the rad can be adjusted..
