Abstract
A spacing tool for determining the spacing between adjacent members of a structure including a pair of perpendicular planes, the planes intersecting along a line offset from the centerline of each plane, the pair of perpendicular planes including a first planar member having a first width corresponding to a first desired spacing between adjacent members in a structure; and a second planar member having a second width corresponding to a second desired width between adjacent members in a structure, the second desired width being less than the first desired width. Each of the first and second planar members further includes a side edge, and the spacing tool further includes first and second thickness indicia positioned on the first planar member side edge and the second planar member side edge respectively. The indicia correspond to the first width and the second width.
