PREPARATION TOOLS
Prepare a tape measure, a pen and a piece of paper for recording measurements. Determine the extent of the wall to be measured, including length and height.
Measuring Length and Height
Use a tape measure to gradually measure along the length of the wall, from one end to the other, making sure the tape is straight and snug against the wall. Then apply the same method to measure the height of the wall, starting at the floor or ground level and ending at the ceiling or top.
Record Measurements
Record the length of each measurement on a piece of paper that can be labeled to make it clear which section of wall it is. Check the recorded length and height measurements to ensure accuracy.
