Lovely Northamptonshire again!

If anyone has them, please let me know the height of the bottoms of them. i'm guessing about 4' from the ground, if landscape-way (fitted with long side parallel to floor)?
basically, i've been offered 5 big mirrors, 8' x 4', and am trying to decide whether to fix them all landscape-way, or 1 or 2 portrait-way, or all portrait-way, on the back of my barn at 1 end of the school.
any advice gratefully received, don't want to muck this up! thankyou.
(i want to be able to see the entire horse including legs, for lateral work etc, from all the way down the 60m school, if that helps!)
 
If I were fitting them and they were going along one short side, I would have the end ones potrait (short side horizontal) and the middle ones landscape (long side horizontal). I feel this would give the most benefit as you would be able to gauge straightness etc more easily in the potrait mirrors.

I can't give any more advice as I am just plain old jealous!

wow, your ones look lovely, i don't think these will look as good as that... a friend got them for a dance studio but her plans have changed so now she's selling them.
i just would like to know what height to put them, if i put the ones at either end upright (portrait way) and the 3 in the middle longways, that will cover the end of my barn (which i'm fixing them to) perfectly, it's just a case of the correct height... 4' ish from the floor to the bottom of the lengthways mirrors?
or, i could do them all portrait-way and ordering 2 more at a later date when i have a bit more money, in which case i guess they can be mounted about a foot from the ground?
thankyou, any advice gratefully received, unfortunately i think you're too far away from me to make it viable for me to get the extra 2 from you!
thankyou.
 
Sheepgate's ones are on top of the indoor kickboards so just under my shoulder height, old place I had lessons had theirs at 5ft ish
