No matter which materials are used to make a "Sunclock",  it is
vital  the layouts be aligned exactly North-South and East-West.
 
A 'magnetic compass'  is certainly  NOT  recommended for this,
but within each set of Layout Plans we give a method (unique to
your location) - which will find the  TRUE  North-South direction.
 
Basically, it involves using any simple 'temporary support', from
which you suspend a 'plumb-bob' (or a weighted string) - so that
the string will be vertical.  To find the North-South direction, you
simply mark the shadow of your string, at a specific time - which
we supply for every day of the year, calculated for your location.
 
The photograph below illustrates our recommended method, and
this is the only time during the layout when sunshine is needed !
 

 
 
Here is another picture of our accurate technique being used, to
find the exact North-South direction - before installing a 'Human
Sundial', in the gardens at "Reveley Lodge" (Hertfordshire, UK).
 

 
 
 
Although you will get better accuracy by making your support as
tall as possible (because the string's shadow can be longer), it is
possible to use a lower support  -  which would make your string
much less likely to be affected by a breeze, or any gusts of wind.
 
The following photograph shows a simple 'tripod' being used, at
a layout for the "New York Cares Day" in October 2006.  You can
find more pictures of this large 'artwork', in our painting section.
 

 
 
 
When you have found your North-South line, mark this with a taut
string - and another string at right-angles to it, running East-West.
 
The main measurements for your "Sunclock"  are then taken from
its 'crossing-over' point, of those two strings.  Our sundial designs
have simple instructions, plus all the exact dimensions needed, to
create your own unique 'Human Sundial'.  This next picture shows
our easy method being used in a garden at Tualatin, Oregon, USA.

Remember you could also make money with Human Sundials,
so please contact us if you may be interested in generating an
income, from this very unusual 'opportunity'.  We suggest that
you telephone us, plus ask to speak direct with Douglas Hunt,
whose sundial plans have been in use world-wide since 1986.
 
Douglas should then be able to discuss several 'possibilities',
and give some advice suited to your personal circumstances.
 
 
Our unique sundial designs are located in numerous different
situations  -  from Schoolyards, to private gardens and Parks.
 
These are particularly popular within the Educational Sector,
due to many 'curriculum-wide' aspects, of a Human Sundial !
 
All of our sundial layouts are 'customized', for your location,
so you can be sure that they will indicate correct clock time.
