Portable-Reusable Steel Batter Boards

Abstract

A batter board device is disclosed that allows for easier, and more efficient construction work. The batter board device comprises a pair of tubing sections each comprising a first end and a second end. The first end of each of the pair of tubing sections comprises an angled section. The angled sections allow the tubing sections to be secured together to create an approximately 90 degree angle. Further, the angled sections are secured together via a hinge, which allows the tubing sections to be collapsed for storage. Additionally, the batter board device comprises at least one receiving component secured to the tubing sections for retaining a stake. The batter board device further comprises at least one square tubing component secured to the tubing sections for retaining a string line.
