Hammer a wooden peg and attach an 8 foot thin rope to the peg. Fasten a spike on the other end (to scrape the circle on the ground). After ensuring the distance between the centre peg and the spike is 8 feet in length, keeping the rope taut, use the spike to mark the ground in a circle.
Drive a peg into the ground. Form a loop at both ends of a thin rope measuring 5 meters. Slip one looped end of the thin rope over the peg. Put a stick in the other loop and stretch the rope taut.
