What happens here

Mark the exact height for the top of the beam on the post using a tape measure. Use a level to ensure that any temporary braces used to support the beam are perfectly horizontal, allowing for accurate beam placement.

Goal: Ensure the beam is positioned at the correct height and perfectly level.

Tools and materials

  • Level — Ensuring horizontal accuracy of the beam and braces
  • Tape Measure — Measuring the beam height
  • Temporary Brace — Supporting the beam during leveling and installation
