The lids can be used to mark out the beds.

But first, you need to create the necessary tool. Take some kind of block and fix the caps on it, placing them at the same distance from each other.

You will get a device that needs to be placed on the ground and pressed down slightly.

As a result, correctly positioned and sufficiently deep holes will appear.
