I want to mark the ground with spray paint and wooden stakes in a nice 25 ft radius circle. The simple way would be to drive a narrow stake in the ground at the center point, tie a 25 ft string to it, and drive the stakes anywhere the string is pulled out.

The problem is, I don't have access to the middle point currently...there are some big rocks there. I do have access to the areas where I will be drawing the spray paint though and quite a bit of space around.

Is there some other simple means of drawing the circle, without having access to the center?


No, center point isn't accessible...there is stuff in the way...I'm going to move that stuff later, when I can rent the equipment.

I'd prefer the circle be fairly accurate, about as accurate I could get had I used a center string...maybe within a 1/4 (?) of accuracy.

How to scribe a circle in the ground...without access to the middle point?
