Hi. When preparing the ground for laying flags you can lay down a pair of "rails" which, when used in conjuction with a scraper (which could simply be a piece of wood), produces a perfectly flat surface for the flags to sit upon at the right height. Question is: Can you purchase a "rail" made specifically for flag laying? Thanks.

Something premade would be tricky as you'd then need to get the ground it a precise level.
The system now is dig down, bang in a few pegs to get the level and fall, and use timber to create your "rails"
Then shovel in and tamp down base materiL/sand
Then another bit of timber or angled metal to adjust the top surface
