Stavross 17,823 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 Getting somewhere today, only problem is the paving they have chosen won’t be here until next Tuesday, so I’ve got another to prep tomorrow for the same paving and someone across the road from here also wants a price but they need to have a think about what they want because that garden is on a slope 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can pin them to battens or stick them straight over tiles, concrete walls etc with adhesive Don,just make sure there's no dust etc, give it a coat of PVA firsthand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe use something like CT 1 grab adhesive alongside the standard stuff??? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 17,823 Posted June 18 Report Share Posted June 18 This one ready for the paving to go down, I’ve had to put 8 ton of stone in, half of that is because the original patio was laid on a bit of sharp with a dusting of cement, amateurs. On to dig out the next one tomorrow 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 17,823 Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Easy one this, no drainage, nothing to break out, just strip the grass off, bit of stone and lay the patio 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
