[QUOTE="Nowland Farms, post: 259475, member: 2797"] This work well with two people. Set the post in the ground and use your carpernters level to make sure the post are straight up and down. Tamp them in good. Go to Wallyworld (walmart) or any hardware store and purchase some nylon string and a linelevel (usually around $2 or $3). Go to the pole on one end and determine the height where you want the pole to be cutoff. Put in a nail and tie the on string. Go to the pole on the other end and pull the string straight. Have someone go up a ladder in the middle of the pole run and put the line level on the string. You can adjust the string up and down on the endpole until the linelevel shows level. Tie off the string. Use the ladder to mark a spot on each pole where the line is. You may have to push the each pole either away from the string or toward the string to get it marked. After all poles are marked, remove the string and as others have said use the chainsaw to cut the poles off. I have built a 40' by 50" pole barn and then added 16' by 50' sheds down each side using this procedure. [/QUOTE]
