- An easy quick way to measure out a parking lot. I've measured thousands of parking lots using these simple instructions. Hope it helps the new guys out and teaches the veterans maybe a trick or two.
Thanks for the simple & to the point instruction!
Great video man. Thanks!
Good video. Enjoyed it a d learned something.
Great video and deserves a like and a comment.

Super
great video same way i do nice
AWESOME.
Thanks so much
Thank you!
hello, Tell me please what type of Chalk worked there? Thank you!
Could you tell me were I could find out what size are the parking spaces are when the cars park end to end?Thanks
What about if you don't have the curb then how would you go about starting something like that
Thank you
Thanks si mucho grom Bogotá, Colombia, sus América. Thanks you
What you don't use 9' 12" 15'???? To square up a 90° That's what we professional use. From the 90° sqaure up point you'll get your 60°angle by measuring 7'6". You always have to have a baseline ( that's where all your painted lines begin ) which is typically 18' per code but really could be what ever you want it to be.
Awesome
Hello, do you have any pricing videos or just advise?
Thanks
Might I suggest two things: First, shoot horizontally (landscape.) It fills the frame better. Secondly, invest in a wireless lavalier (sp?) mic, it will help with your audio when talking to the camera.
This was made 12 years ago!
@@deeanng.9199 ok, but the advice still applies.
Great video , I was wonder if you can share how to price a parking lot job , by example 30 parking spaces and a handicapped stencil price
So you made 9fts half way through, but when you finshed the rest all the way down what was the last stalls length? Was it 9 foot like the rest? and have you ever encounterd this if so what do you do personally? Thank you
For new layout, I measure the entire length and use a framing calculator to calculate how many stalls. A lot of time they will be 9’2” or some odd number but then your line will be flush at the end.
Very helpful. Trying to conserve money by striping our church parking lot ourselves.
I do that all the time at my church You can buy the striping spray paint for parking lots at Lowes .Just put two 8 foot long 2 by 4s about 4 inches apart as a template and spray paint each line in between the 2 by 4s to make it look straight
@@rbeck3200tb40 i bet it looks shit
@@TheDillberto
It looks great actually and professional like most things I do myself
@@rbeck3200tb40taping it off is a much better option
Good stuff.
can someone please do video on how to do angle parking and chevron stripes/hatching for me please?
We have been in business for 70 years and that's basically how we still layout and it works. Except I would have made 9' marks along the curb as long as the curb is straight then swing a square, that way you are 90 degrees with the curbing.
After ya lay it out pop the 18ft lines, do y’all spray on the side of the line or spray center of the line.
Thinking if you spray and the line is center of your paint then the parking space becomes smaller than 9 ft.
But if you spray to the same side of each line it would stay a true 9 ft space?
When you start striping, do you paint to the left of rack chalk line to keep an exact 9ft stall?
“Left of the chalk line”
How do you do angle parking lines or sideways parking lines
Thanks for the info
How do you lay out a curved lot?
Helluva video
How would you do that for angled parking spaces?
Angled parking is 10'5" if you have 18' backing that will give you 9' stall
What is considered a small pkg lot?
Thanks bro!
So he just eyeballed the 9' spaces!
Could you tell me about how much you charge per line thank you for the tips
Roughly $4 per line.
@@josephbanash4373 my boss charge them 10$ per line
What size tip do you use? I am a painter by trade but have started line striping recently.
Thanks for the informative video.
For 4" we use 319
Yellow tips not the black one👍🏻 but same here painting residential for 30 years. Like this better cause not a ladder in sight lol.. good luck!
Bought a new Greco airless electric line striping machine which my guys don’t have to pre-mark this local old ways...
Me and my team have been renewing our business lots around the US and learned that Fox Valley is the industry mainstay for materials. They've been around for almost 50 years and this is their specialty. Their machines and paints are clearly of a much higher quality than any of the home improvement store brands. Their new site is FOXVALLEYPAINT.COM
Love your squaring method! Quick tip to improve chalk bleeding through your paint. Pull a rope tight from mark to mark and spray the rope with tracking gun. Marks will remain if you must pull off for rain, no bending over, and much more efficient.
What is Tracking gun that you spray on rope??
Jack Attali a tracking gun is a krylon 34" marking wand that sprays upside down spray paint on our layout rope. Then we follow the void left by the rope. Quicker and easier on the back
Ryan Cox
Thank you Sir!
Ryan Cox nobody uses a rope anymore. That's the old way
Danger Danger I work for a huge striping company and wether it’s roads or parking lots we use a lay out string and wand
From transporter to striper
6,8,10 would have worked fine. This layout is more for a convex layout
I still can’t measure it , with no base or straight
how the heck do you do spaces that are angled....
What angle?
smegal417 I dont know, when cars parks angled???Every time I stripe its pure hell...
tjsage79 if it's a 60° square is 10', 10', 10 from the corner the first one needs to hit, Snap it. Then pull 90° off that 9'. Snap it. Measure the width, should be 10'4".
tjsage79 a 45 is a 90 square, 18,24,30 then make a 5' box and snap through it.
smegal417 what f are you talking about
Only 9ft apart. We do 12ft apart
You need to factor in if the curb is at a angle so the way it was laid out in your video is incorrect the line could be straight but the stalls could not be perfect 9" spaces.
Actually that's the standard measurement. 18'L 9'W
I see my mistake
Burn. .....
Kidding"
That's what I was thinking too. If that curb isnt straight, that setup will not be square at all.
I've owned my own striping business for 10 years, this way of layout is a waste of time.
I've been in the striping business for almost a year. Need someone I can call for advice. Live in Florida.
Can you post a video pls
This is NOT how you accurately layout new striping.
Shawn Ross wow that shit is all ass backwards holly shit what did I just watch
No shit
why do you say this is not how to accurately lay out a parking lot? His lines will be square and straight, so what's so wrong with what he's doing
It's funny cause you have no videos doing anything about riding a dirt bike around. Nothing to show you have any experience in stripping parking lots or doing anything that would give credibility to your statement
@@ulfrenterprises9504 I have only been doing it for 18 years.
Portrait mode! Immediate disqualification.
That's not how they showed me.
Amateurs!!
All these guys are yoked
