Measuring tapes for land

Viewing land without a tape measure is the easiest way to buy the wrong plot. The area on the title, in the listing and on the ground can differ, the frontage may be narrower than described and the access road smaller than you expect. A long tape or a laser distance meter lets you measure frontage, depth, road width and the distance to boundary markers on the spot. A 30 to 50 metre fibreglass tape suits land, while a laser meter is quick for straight distances. Compare your measurements with the map on the title before paying any deposit. Items are ranked by the independent usdxu score from real sales and buyer reviews.
