It's not really clear to me, where on the rounded corner you have measured too!?

Are the three sharp corners 90°?

I know mate, it was hard to figure out where to measure to though.

The way I was originally going to do it was have the three 90° corners, and then add the left and bottom figure and have 710 inches, put a slight bend in it near the bottom.

It's only there due to a path.

If all three corners are 90°, then theres something off with your measurements...



Unless you measured it wrong.
You need to measure A and B:

So to elaborate, if all three corners are 90° then just ignore the part where the curve starts.

Providing the round corner is perfectly round, it will have a start and stop point like above.

If the the corner is not perfectly round, then there is no fucking way to draw it to scale (nor to measure it).

To be fair, as you've drawn it is how it is in person, just a bitch to put into scale

It's hard to see here, but im standing on the "a" in your picture...



Can kind of see the curve to the left. It's awkward to measure!

Curve seems to start dead center in the picture. Measure from there to the corner. Same on side B.

Some estimation (guess work) will be needed though, as it really is impossible to make 100% accurate. How precise do you need it?

If you measure E, F and G as well, that will help with a more accurate curve:

If it's not clear, E and F need to be 90° to A and B respectively.

G is 45° to E and F.

Bit more elaborate than that, but along those lines.

Looks pretty good though, it doesn't have to be super accurate. Just wanted a plan, as stuff going on has to be planted a certain amount of distance apart, plus a shed / fencing etc.

Would just be cool to see an actual plan come to life, literally.
