    Surveyor’s Checklist - How to Choose the Right Rod

    Graduation & Workflow

    • DO: Pick tenths (decimal) rods for metric/decimal grade work.
    • DO: Pick inch rods for imperial plans/specs.
    • DON’T: Mix scales on the same job to prevent conversion errors.

    Reach & Positioning

    • DO: Use a 25' rod when trench depth, slab height, or formwork requires extra reach.
    • DON’T: Assume a longer rod is unnecessary; repositioning costs time and safety.

    Material & Durability

    • DO: Choose fiberglass rods for moisture resistance and stable length across temperature changes.
    • DON’T: Use warped or damaged rods, as they produce measurement errors.

    Compatibility & Safety

    • DO: Pair rods with a stable tripod following manufacturer guidelines.
    • DON’T: Exceed rated lengths or use damaged hardware; accuracy and safety are compromised.

    FAQs - Tripods & Grade Rods

    Here are some common questions about tripods and grade rods:

    1. Which rod is better for trench depth checks – 16' or 25'?

    Use the 25' tenths rod when trench or form depth exceeds reach. It reduces repositioning and speeds layout.

    2. Should I use tenths or inches on my site?

    Use tenths for decimal/metric grade math and quicker slope calculations. Use inches if job specs and drawings are imperial.

    3. How fast will this ship, and what warranty applies?

    Most rods ship within 2–3 business days. DanseUSA does not offer warranties on these products. For guidance or special questions, Contact our team.
