Two White Buckets<\/strong> &#8211; These will be used for your AB points.\u00a0 We have found white buckets are the best for attracting the targeting and measuring lasers.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve labeled one bucket &#8220;A&#8221; and the other &#8220;B&#8221;.\u00a0 Remember that if you are standing at the pool facing outwards towards the buckets, A is always on the right side.<\/p>\n<p>There is reflective tape on each bucket.\u00a0 In certain sunlight conditions the laser works better on the reflective tape.\u00a0 At other times, it works better on the bucket itself.\u00a0 This just gives you options, depending upon the level and glare of the sunlight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0 Two Trigonon &#8220;Donuts&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong> We include &#8220;Trigonon Donuts&#8221; which fit around the bottom of the buckets.\u00a0 They simply slide up until they hold themselves in place.\u00a0 They help shade the buckets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Two Clamp-on Umbrellas<\/strong> &#8211; If you happen to be working when the sun is rising or setting and therefore have direct sunlight hitting the white buckets, extra shade can help.\u00a0 With direct sunlight, the device still works, but it can take a little longer for the laser to get the measurement.\u00a0 Since we know every second counts, we have found that shading the buckets allows the measuring laser to work better and faster.\u00a0 By using an umbrella that clamps onto the white pails you purchased, it will allow the bucket to still be shaded in direct sunlight.\u00a0 You can also purchase cheap, clamp on umbrellas at Walmart or on Amazon.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-slider-sc\"><div class=\"fusion-flexslider-loading flexslider flexslider-hover-type-none\" data-slideshow_autoplay=\"1\" data-slideshow_smooth_height=\"0\" data-slideshow_speed=\"3000\" style=\"max-width:350px;height:100%;\"><ul class=\"slides\"><li class=\"image\"><span class=\"fusion-image-hover-element hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bucket-Umbrella.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" class=\"wp-image-407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bucket-Umbrella-200x111.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bucket-Umbrella-400x222.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bucket-Umbrella-600x333.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bucket-Umbrella-800x444.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bucket-Umbrella.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/span><\/li><li class=\"image\"><span class=\"fusion-image-hover-element hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-buckets-for-AB-measuring-1024x722.png\" alt=\"image showing trigonon white buckets used for AB measuring\" width=\"1024\" height=\"722\" class=\"wp-image-1056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-buckets-for-AB-measuring-200x141.png 200w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-buckets-for-AB-measuring-400x282.png 400w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-buckets-for-AB-measuring-600x423.png 600w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-buckets-for-AB-measuring-800x564.png 800w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-buckets-for-AB-measuring-1200x846.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/li><li class=\"image\"><span class=\"fusion-image-hover-element hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-donut-ring-to-shade-buckets-1024x973.png\" alt=\"trigonon circle donuts that go on Trigonon buckets to shade buckets, making it easier for the laser to measure\" width=\"1024\" height=\"973\" class=\"wp-image-1057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-donut-ring-to-shade-buckets-200x190.png 200w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-donut-ring-to-shade-buckets-400x380.png 400w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-donut-ring-to-shade-buckets-600x570.png 600w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-donut-ring-to-shade-buckets-800x760.png 800w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-donut-ring-to-shade-buckets-1200x1140.png 1200w, https:\/\/thetrigonon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trigonon-donut-ring-to-shade-buckets.png 1786w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"How To Install and Use the Donut Shades with the Trigonon Buckets\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VTgnByoLn98?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
