Lay out patios, retaining walls, fences, and site work with the Stanley 1/2 in x 200 ft Open Reel Fiberglass Long Tape. The 200-foot fiberglass blade gives you the reach for full-yard layouts, the open-reel design rewinds fast and cleans easy, and the fractional inch / decimal foot scales mean you can read it however the print calls for it.

Model: 34-793 · Length: 200 ft · Blade: 1/2″ fiberglass · Vendor: Stanley

Why a Long Tape?

• 200-foot reach: stake out full backyard hardscape layouts, paver patios, retaining-wall lines, and yard grids without daisy-chaining a 25-foot pocket tape
• Fiberglass blade: non-conductive (safer near electrical work), more dimensionally stable than steel under temperature swings, and won’t kink like steel does on a job site
• Polymer-coated blade: withstands abrasion against asphalt, concrete, and dragged-around stakes
• Open-reel design: the blade is exposed, so debris falls off as you rewind — closed-reel tapes pack mud and gunk into the housing on every job
• 2-sided graphics: fractional inch scale on one face, decimal foot scale on the other — civil/landscape work and architectural work read the same tape
• 1/2″ blade width: the workhorse pro-grade width — stiff enough to extend out without help, narrow enough to fit through corner forms

Best For

• Hardscape layout: paver patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, fire-pit pads
• Site staking: property line staking, batter board layout, swimming pool footprint
• Landscape installation: garden bed layout, irrigation runs, fence lines
• Civil/grading work: driveway grading, drainage swale layout, decimal-foot site plans
• Architectural layout: stick-frame foundations, deck footprints, addition layouts

Specifications

• Blade Length: 200 ft
• Blade Width: 1/2″

• Hook End: Standard end-loop for staking
• Use: Site layout, hardscape, landscape, architectural, civil grading

Care & Use

• Wipe the blade with a damp rag before rewinding when it’s muddy — the open reel sheds debris but cured mud still abrades the polymer coating
• Don’t use as a pull-rope or come-along strap — fiberglass tapes are stiff enough to extend, not strong enough to load
• Avoid laying the tape across raw asphalt in full sun — tar transfers and the polymer coating gets sticky
• Inspect the end-hook every season — a bent loop reads short and throws layout
• Store with a few feet of blade left out so the spring tension doesn’t collapse on the reel
