Peter puts his beer down @14:13. When we cut back to the empty chairs @14:23 the beer's gone! Seriously though, entertaining and informative video that I wish I'd seen before I laid a patio with concrete slabs years ago.
Painting and decorating is simple ? Hmm , I’ve corrected some appalling paint jobs over the years. Some people have no idea how to prep surfaces to achieve a quality looking and durable finish.
Thank you guys for posting such a great video with so much detail! I used all methods mentioned in this video and I have a great looking landing that is 20 square metres at the back of my house!
Fuck the standards on Sheep Island are pretty low. That paving will sink into the stormwater or sewer pipe trench after the first heavy rain. The smarter countries use concrete under the paving, quicker and easier. Then compact sand. Use 25x25 aluminium rails to screed off or screed using profiles like a concretor. Pre cut your halves and use straight away. Use dumpy or laser level to set heights quickly and accurately. 6/10 for the sheep shagger.
Quick question - after haunching you said to wait two days before compacting. Wouldn't the plate compaction drive the pavers lower into the sand breaking the haunching? I'm completing my project soon and trying to figure out these last steps. I appreciate any advice!
Not sure how flex pipe works for screed rails lol. I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND using galvanized 1” pipe for this part. Plus, without a containment border the sub grade will just fall out from under the pavers.
6:00 - Not sure why your comment isn't a link to the direct spot in the video so just adding it again to save myself (and others) having to find it. Thanks for sharing originally!
Hi, Thanks for video. May I ask you I have prepared my base with road base and compacted it well. Does it have to be 100 % level. It has few high and low spots at few places that I am not able to rectify to 100 %. Would adding pavers sand on next step not fix these few spots. As I am doing 2cm thick sandstone pavers installation how much would you recommend that pavers sand should be poured in. I was thinking 2-3 cm. Please share. Thank You !
Dont use plastic pipe or any pipe use 3mm thick by 30mm wide flat bar and use your screed bar and level to get lines in first then sit strips on top less work and quicker
Is there any one who can suggest me what all things to be kept in mind when constructing a tank. the tank will contain corrosive liquid and it need to be liquid leak as well as gas leak proof. Please suggest me some.
Sorry to say it No professional paves a job like this Fair enough, some of the basics he explains are true but it’s a slow way to do it I would have that area paved in half the time with the same outcome You don’t need to string line out the whole job if it’s a small patio Also his tip to wet the sand on the side so the sand doesn’t come out underneath is silly as you want to go under the paver with the cement to make it stronger. Metal screed straps not pipe. Compactors of that size compact to a depth of 150/200mm so you just put all your material in and compact on top of both the sub base and screeding sand. I seriously doubt he does it for a living.
Hey great video! I did pavers at my house last year and it turned out great.. I made a video of it and then made it "fast motion".. was fun.. check it out
These guys are wrong. All you need is a wheelbarrow and pavers. Have a bong, dump the pavers in the area you want, spread them around with your foot ..... job done.
As an Australian, I can tell you that this is how we interact with other blokes, particularly our closest associates. It's the same with Kiwis, we share a sardonic sense of humour. We all indulge in The Great Australian Leg Pull. The closer we are, the more we insult each other. It's not NPD at all, just the sense of humour that we have and our cultural attitude. We're not like the Septic Tanks (Yanks), they're generally all over each other like a cheap suit, being insincere and overly complimentary, full of uneasy self-assertion and, to us, lacking in humour and wit, easily offended, thin-skinned and what have you. Just different types of people. Give me the robust insult from an Australian or Kiwi any day, then I know they're fair dinkum. 😉🇭🇲🦘🐨
great video never thought of all those little details that make the work of leveling stuff and having the edge stones not collapsing with the sand. Definitely uses a little cement based mixture on the side of any patio/walk way if i ever do this type of stuff.
(**A note on the edge pavers**)That "haunching" will only support the edges if the pad is as it's shown; which is an entry or landing pad outside the door or any area with very light traffic. If you're installing pavers where there will be heavy traffic, you would have to install either metal edge bars or at least 6" thick concrete (not mortar) edge to keep the pavers from coming apart at the edge. Great video.
going to end up a shit job, clay paver's are the best for around the house and driveway, then lay them on a bed of mortar, no weeds, ants cannot mine it out, cleaner, far better durable job, the paving sand is a waste of money as ants mine it out and it washes away in heavy rain.
Can we mix jointing sand with dry cement to fill the gaps then wet it after? Second question: I've seen builders mix cement and jointing sand and spread it all over the flat bed of sharp sand, put the slabs down, then wet the slabs for a few minutes. What do you reckon? Is it a good idea?
looked good, lots of great info. for me, not sure i would plate compact on top of jointing sand makes me nervous i will leave a stain mess.. guess it better be darn dry! also the haunch is good for those small pavers but i'm using much larger 14" square, 3" thick so best i beef up the haunch more.
This is the best video I have seen covering all the stages of preparation and paver laying. No nonsense and clear logical instructions interspersed with a touch of humour !! Weel done.
Peter if u read this message can u please come to my house and help me with my pavers in my mums garden?? Its a very awkward landscape and I've got everything i need but I cant progress any further and I'm trying to complete it so my mum can see it before she....I live in south auckland
Unless it's parmeable paving it could be laid level. But yeh high point near the house and chase height round the house level 150mm bellow FFL OR VENT height to stop dampness. Set your runs on a turn of the bubble away from house. If It has to run in towards the house for any reason put in a gravel strip or if it's a big area that could shed loads of water then put in acco channels. They videos are all bollocks. Correcting lines that run off??? Set 2 lines up and set them square and lay up and out along the lines checking them every now and then. Blocks should be laid tight to keep the bond strong.
Finally, a paver installation video that makes sense, and doesn't gloss over how to level the base material. Good job.
They glossed over how to compact the corners though.
@@bravo2966 Also what happens if after compacting it doesn’t go the 10mm that you thought it would
Old videos like these still explain it better

I noticed that too haha!! Great video overall though :-)
Bernhard Hofmann has the
That was a really good instruction video and will save it and use it when I do paving. What on earth would I do without TH-cam lol
Nice job guys. One suggestion - don't use plastic pipe. 3/4 to 1" Steel electrical conduit works great and does not flex.
Painting and decorating is simple ? Hmm , I’ve corrected some appalling paint jobs over the years. Some people have no idea how to prep surfaces to achieve a quality looking and durable finish.
Peter is a nice guy and a professional! Good job!!
Not all correct but in general not bad. Probably the best one on youtube so far.

I really enjoyed watching your video,Thanks guys, great video!!
This video really great. Help me out a lot with our new patio.
Best "how to video" on youtube
The moment I saw him get in the wrong side of the car I knew this wasn’t someone I should take advice from. 🤣
Just kidding!
Excellent work and excellent details

Good vid, but I wouldn't use pvc pipe for screed rails they flex, use steel, and attach carpet to the wacker when going over the pavers.

How come your driving on the wrong side of the car?

Information and funny, thanks
First time seeing a mm measuring tape
Najbolji klip
just made you 1000 likes ....good video wish you would have said inches too i mean your are using a american tape...everything on point ....
Now thats professional
your sub base must have six inches of misto, in top that no less of three inches of sand ,i like your operation.
nice vid thanks.
Great!
Screed, NOT screen.
I prefer using metal scaffolding tubes
great ................
well done
when he says "pull it out fast" it sounded like he said "well i just pulled it out of my..."
Sorry to say it
No professional paves a job like this
Fair enough, some of the basics he explains are true but it’s a slow way to do it
I would have that area paved in half the time with the same outcome

Note: They were doing it properly for their own benefit, not doing it how a so called professional does it, saving time so as to fill their pockets.
@@johnbower
Nope
Just doing it slower and doing unnecessary things
Definitely not better
There’s a reason professionals are called professionals
Hi
Good
very beautifully presented
why not?
What about tools?
I've just been watching two for over a minute and a half...!
who uses Explorer nowdays? :P
An intertainmint eareah? It's like fingernails on a blackboard.
What about weed control? My paved yard walks are jungles!!
Don't use plastic pipe that bends, use rigid metal pipe, you bloody dingos!
Oi, use the compactor before you sand, you made a right mess there, mate!
Yer as blind as an Aussie bat with syphilis, ya braindead dingo!
He used compacter before sand u numpty
Being New Zealand, the invoice came to $50k for that job.
Bad experience?

What the fuck is a meter #Merica
it's used in the metric system by pretty much everyone except america... get with the times over there!
LAME, you need to show people how to get it square and not just measure yours and find it magically PERFECT!
They're not Australians, so who sounds stupid now ?
this guys doesn't know what they are doing
Best video on TH-cam for paver installation.
The attention to detail is truly appreciated.
Screed, NOT screen.

Order in Chaos yep I’m in cold climates that concrete will just crack and ruin the job . I always use edging instead
A spade? In the US we use Mexicans.

Different countrys different ways i use sand under all my jobs never washed away or under mined by ants

Second question: I've seen builders mix cement and jointing sand and spread it all over the flat bed of sharp sand, put the slabs down, then wet the slabs for a few minutes. What do you reckon? Is it a good idea?
The acting is excruciating, but the advice is solid
By far the best video I’ve seen for pavers. Thank you
Hands down the best video on youtube for pavers. Of all the videos this one shows the importance and how to of grading a base. Thanks!
looked good, lots of great info. for me, not sure i would plate compact on top of jointing sand makes me nervous i will leave a stain mess.. guess it better be darn dry! also the haunch is good for those small pavers but i'm using much larger 14" square, 3" thick so best i beef up the haunch more.
Finally found a video that shows how to lay the screen bars...... best subject video on the tube...
This is the best video I have seen covering all the stages of preparation and paver laying. No nonsense and clear logical instructions interspersed with a touch of humour !! Weel done.
or you can just pour concrete 1 base no sinking or settling
Now I can go and eat my fush 🐠 n chups 🍟

Aren't you supposed to lay the pavers at a slight off level away from the house for correct water shedding direction?
GeneralMartinus 1in ever 6ft I heard.
GeneralMartinus 10mm per 1m as per 4:20 in vid
+GeneralMartinus 1 inch every 8ft? 1/8th inch every foot
Some people just don't listen.
