Hi!
Building a deck and have a difference of 1.5 cm when cross-measuring the diagonals. The diagonal is approximately 5.7 m. Having difficulty finding the source of error to correct it. What challenges will such a difference present on a deck 6*4 m? Negligible?

Since it's just a deck you're building, it doesn't matter much. When building a house, you should be a bit more meticulous. However, I have seen houses with exactly this difference, and it has worked out fine anyway.
I actually believe that your deck project will turn out perfectly. But if you want to be 100% sure, you can use triangulation: http://hem.ektv.nu/~ekt000851/trigo.html
Here, you can get the exact measurements.
Good luck.

You seem to have already noticed the biggest problem with such a small diff, the problem of finding it. 
If I guess that it is a wooden deck, it will move more than that with the seasons.

Is it perpendicular? Try with an Egyptian triangle.
Hello again!
Yes, the Egyptian triangle has been very helpful.
It is perpendicular, so we have had difficulty tracing the error(s).
We are satisfied with the current difference. As usual, one is far too worried.
Thanks for the response.
