Blueline Masonline 4 5 1 1

Ensures Your Masonry Wall Goes Up Straight What do you use it for? You don't use mason line for tying stuff up. Instead, its an important tool for helping ensure that a wall made of bricks (or cinder block, pavers, etc) is put up correctly. You stretch the mason line between stakes at the two ends of the wall. Use a level to make sure the stakes are perfectly vertical and laying the mason line horizontally at the height you want to build each layer of brick. The line then lets you tell if your row of bricks is running both straight and plumb. (There are tons of how-to videos on how to do this.) How well this line worked for us? Our project was a half meter high retaining wall running along our driveway for about 6 meters. We dug out a trench for the first row to ensure the base was as "perfectly" level as we could do it. Than we started using the stakes and rods to ensure each other level was also level and straight. This line was regularly abraded by pavers, brick hammers, etc. and stood up well. The line is a little stretchy, so you don't have to worry about sag between the stakes. We did some work in the rain, and it didn't sag as it got wet because it is made of nylon and we had no problems with mildew. We haven't tried out hands at working with bricks and mortar, but nylon is not affected by mortar. February 23, 2011
