My uncle handed me these plans and told me to build this....

I've never built anything more complicated then a fence. This bocce ball court is on a slope, It wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't a slope I need to compensate for.

I wanted to just grade the whole damn site but he says if I do that it won't drain properly. He also gave me a transit and told me to shoot it.

>does anyone have any resources that could help me?

This is basically what it would look like.

Thanks It's probably more simple then I think it is. The only think that throws me off is differant height on each side

>left side up the slope
2x4 + 2x12 = 16" High

>right side down the slope
2x12 + 2x12 = 24" High

How do I build on this slope.
Like I said in OP I'm not allowed to level the site do to drainage problems.

>pic related?
>>
>>1105563
your site is sloped

dont level it

higher side use 16"

lower side use 24"

does that make sense?
>>
>>1105556
Also what is this 2x12 plate business?
Is it just the joint between two boards?

My uncle has a pretty bad Italian accent.

>>1105568
between the posts, in front of the 2 boards where they touching

that makes sense but how to I connect the two sides if their height is different?
>>
>>1105568
does it look like this?
>>
>>1105572
see
>>1105581
>>
>>1105579
How do you connect them nornally. The whole thing should be level since the drop in height is accounted for by longer posts.
>>
>>1105586
I don't know how I would connect them normally. I've never built anything on a slope. I build things like paver patios not wooded boxes parallel to a slope... I feel like I have a fucking learning disability... maybe I do.

OP - first thing I thought of when you mentioned Bocce

>'Lucchese crime family associate Henry Hill reported multiple mob victims were buried at the bar, describing it as Burke's private cemetery. In his book A Goodfella's Guide to New York, Hill wrote of the bar,'

>Jimmy buried over a dozen bodies, including Dominick "Remo" Cersani and Michael "Spider" Gianco, under the bocce courts. If you go there today and look down the left side of the building, you'll see piles of dirt. After I went into the program, Jimmy had the feds and media over to witness the courts being dug up.…

Yeah fucking Italians love their Bocce Ball. They're pretty common in this area. I could have built this thing in the time it's taken to make this thread if it wasn't on a fucking slope.
>>
>>1105579
probably better to dig a tiny trench and compact fit it down to make it level
>>
>>1105605
Now it's starting to make more sense to me.

>compact fit
Hit it with a hammer till it fits into the trench level?

Is this the 2x12 plate?
>>1105581
>>
>>1105612
yeah

or put some concrete into it and hammer it down

like the posts but a long narrow one

Sweet!

Could you help me understand the spacing of the posts?

>in one spot it says put a post in every 4'
>in another spot is says to place them 12" apart at the joints.
>>
>>1105635
My dude that says posts 4 ft center to center. The 12" is for the plate
>>
>>1105635
>>1105730
Also your boards running long are 16' (3x16' gets you 48') at those joints he wants a plate to join it together.

I don't get why he drew the posts 12" apart on both sides of the joint. When they're supposed to be every 4' evenly spaced

Is this the plate I need?

thankyou. It's just the way he drew posts on both sides of the 12" joint when they're supposed to be evenly spaced 4' evenly throughout.

Yes
