Instructions help needed

Quick, before someone moves it to the DIY forum where it will disappear ...

I have some velux misquito nets to install today, I'm reading up before I start.

I cannot fathom what this piece of equipment I need is? Only appears once in the later pages.

It's a folding ruler. A measuring tape will suffice.

^^ This is the answer!

Ffs. That's ridiculous.

Thanking you

As I have one myself, I immediately knew what it was. But that really is daft option to picture as a measuring device.

In fairness, I've encountered folding measures in a lot more countries than roll ones, so maybe that's the reason.

I got it immediately as I have one - but as a pictorial for a ruler - it is just ludicrous.

Wait.... folding measures are more common that tape measures?
