The David White SitePRO 32-20080B is a professional-grade 200-foot nylon-clad steel tape built for surveyors, civil engineers, and construction crews who demand repeatable accuracy across large-scale layouts. Sold as a pack of three tapes, the 32-20080B is graduated in Feet, Inches, and 8ths, eliminating on-site conversion math and reducing measurement error during fast-paced layout work. Whether you are running property boundaries, staking building footprints, or establishing control points, this tape delivers the precision and rugged reliability the SitePRO line is known for.
Product Overview & Jobsite Applications
Designed for repeated heavy-duty use on rough terrain, the SitePRO 32-20080B combines a high-temper steel blade with a protective nylon coating that resists abrasion, moisture, and kinking during extension and retraction. At 200 feet, the tape covers distances common in residential and commercial site layout, boundary surveys, road construction staking, and utility corridor work — all in a single pull without repositioning. The pack-of-three format keeps crews equipped across multiple field crews or serves as a reliable replacement supply for survey firms with high tape turnover.

Job Applications
Boundary & Topographic Surveys: Run long traverse legs or offset measurements with confidence. The 200-foot length and 8ths graduation support the precision required in legal boundary work and topographic data collection.
Commercial & Residential Site Layout: Establish building corners, set foundation offsets, and stake utility locations quickly. Contractors appreciate the direct-read 8ths graduations when working from architectural plans dimensioned in fractional inches.
Road Construction & Utility Staking: Mark centerlines, ROW limits, and catch basin locations along corridors without repeatedly leapfrogging a shorter tape. The nylon coating holds up against gravel, concrete, and roadbase materials that destroy uncoated tapes.
Athletic Field & Landscape Layout: Lay out sports fields, parking lots, and large landscape features where long, accurate measurements are required but optical or robotic instruments may not be available on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does "graduated in 8ths" mean on the 32-20080B?
- The tape blade is marked in increments of one-eighth of an inch (1/8"). This graduation format matches the fractional dimensions commonly found on architectural drawings and residential construction plans, allowing crews to read measurements directly off the tape without performing decimal-to-fraction conversions in the field.
- How many tapes come in a pack of the 32-20080B?
- Each order of the David White SitePRO 32-20080B includes three (3) individual 200-foot steel tapes. This multi-pack format is ideal for survey firms supplying multiple field crews, general contractors keeping spare tapes on large job sites, or distributors stocking replacement inventory.
- Is the 32-20080B blade coated or bare steel?
- The blade features a nylon-clad coating over the high-temper steel core. This coating protects the blade from abrasion when dragged across concrete, gravel, and rough terrain, and provides a degree of moisture resistance to slow the onset of rust and corrosion compared to uncoated steel tapes.
- Can this tape be used with standard chaining pins?
- Yes. The 32-20080B is compatible with standard surveying chaining pins, which are used to mark intermediate tape positions during chained traverses on long distances. For best results, pair it with a set of 11 chaining pins so a two-person crew can run a full 200-foot pull efficiently.
