Backyard Evaporator Set Up - Leveling the Ground

Jim and Angela set up a Dauntless Evaporator at home. This video chapter covers how to level the ground before placing your arch. Having a level foundation will help ensure that your pans sit level so that the sap depth is consistent throughout the pan. You will need: a measuring tape, four bricks, a four-foot level, a shovel Step 1: Measure the footprint of the arch. Step 2: Select one corner from which to level the other three corners. Step 3: Double check your measurements. Step 4: Place your arch onto the bricks. Keep in mind that as the frost comes out of the ground, the ground may shift. You may need to level the foundation multiple times throughout your maple season. Next step: Insert the grates and bricks.
