Desiging the Snow Labyrinth


The first step in building my snow Labyrinth was to figure out its dimensions, keeping them in proportion to the original Chartres 11-Circuit design, which has a diameter of approximately 40 feet. My large expanse of flat yard permitted me to plan a diameter of 80 feet, twice the Chartres size. Using the printed image (above) I calculated a scale of one inch to equal 10.66 feet. I then measured the Paths, Labyrs, Labrices and Rosette. This worked out to my Paths being 2 feet wide, my Labrices 8 inches, and the Rosette 20 feet in diameter. The entire diamater is 80 feet.
