Troubleshooting
Line is sagging or stretching unevenly
Ensure the line is properly tensioned between stakes. Re-tension if necessary. If the line is old or damaged, consider replacing it.

Consider using temporary marking methods (e.g., spray paint) on the ground along the line, or use a flashlight to highlight the line in low-light conditions.
