    How did you get 202mm by trigonometry? I'm genuinely interested as I got 218mm over a 600mm run? It doesn't matter for the purposes of a log store I'm just double checking I'm not going crazy.
    I didn't get 202mm.

    tan ϴ = O/A
    O = A. tan ϴ
    O = 60. tan 20
    O = 21.8cm or 218mm

    Height at back = 1.2m or 1200mm
    Height at front = 1200-218 = 982mm or 98cm

    Good, I'm not going mad, I just can't read! The joy of working in m or mm!
    Some people don't exaggerate........... They just remember big!
