What Is Carpentry

The document discusses different types of batter boards used in construction layout including continuous, corner, single, and double boards, and provides details on properly setting batter boards by determining foundation heights, driving corner posts, stretching level strings between posts to transfer marks, and nailing boards in place along the level strings. The purpose of batter boards is to provide a reference for marking the foundation of a building during final layout.

BATTER BOARD

• Batter boards are the horizontal boards placed at the


corner and at the sides of the projected building when
final layout takes place.
• The reference for the foundation is marked on these
boards.
TWO TYPES OF BATTER BOARDS

• Batter boards for foundation posts may be either


joined by continuous pieces surrounding the site
of foundation or by individual piece for its
foundation.
TWO TYPES OF BATTER BOARDS

a. Continuous Batter Board

b. Corner Batter Board


Kinds of Batter Boards

• Batter boards for foundation posts may be either joined by


continuous pieces surrounding the site of foundation or by
individual piece for each foundation.
• Batter boards for the foundation walls are either single or
double batter boards which are placed at corner.
KINDS OF BATTER BOARDS

a. Single Batter Board


KINDS OF BATTER BOARDS

b. Double Batter Board


PROCEDURE IN SETTING BATTER
BOARD
1. Determine the height of
the foundation at any of
the four corners of the
proposed building. Set the
stakes at 0.75 to 1m away
from the predetermined
building lines, preferably
where the grade stake is.

BOARD
2. In this corner, drive a
stake as high as the
desired height of the
foundation.

BOARD
3. Drive in set of posts
for the batter boards 3
feet away from the
corners and along the
sides. Drive in the
posts firmly. Align
these posts with a
string.
PROCEDURE IN SETTING BATTER
BOARD
4. Move the height of the
foundation from the
stakes to the corner
post of the batter board.
This is done by
stretching a string,
leveled with spirit level
or level bar from the
stake to the post.

BOARD
5. From the mark of this post,
stretch out a string going around
the corners of the building and
passing at the side of the batter
board posts.
6. Level this string with a spirit
level or level bar. Stretch the
string tight. Start leveling from
the corner stake where the height
of the foundation is established.
Recheck the levelness.
PROCEDURE IN SETTING BATTER
BOARD
7. Mark batter board posts
along the line just
leveled. These marks
are places for the top of
the batter boards.
8. Nail the batter boards in
place, the straight side
up and at the marks of
the posts.
