Good question, Marc. Actually, the HandyGrid doesn't have to be exactly level, because you overfill it before doing the final compaction and level. The HandyGrid serves as a tool for the confinement of the gravel to prevent lateral movement and increase soil strength, which is the main cause of differential settlement. Think of it as the rebar for gravel. These foundations are called Reinforced Soil Structures. Hope that helps... P.S. I am the owner of HandyGrid.

A little late to check for level after the grid and gravel is in no?
Hey so even with pavers... it should be Exactly level? No slope for rainwater?
