[QUOTE="johnsattuk, post: 341644, member: 183150"] I'm presuming that by 'level' you mean 'vertical' :) You only need to measure in two planes at right angles to one another to get it true. If your spirit level is not true it will complicate it somewhat, you would have to check the pole at 180 deg apart and set to the mean in both directions. :confused: If its a fairly short pole and accessable, I usualy drop a plumb line through the middle, making shure it is in the centre of the tube at the top. I make a cardboard top with a small hole in the centre for the line, and tape it to the tube, it is then easy to see which way out it is and ajust to suit. It also means that youv'e got two hands free to hang onto the ladder. ;) [/QUOTE]
