How To Set Out Levels/String Lines When Laying A Patio

This video shows you how to set out your string lines for levels when laying a patio, in this case a rivened Indian stone patio. This will ensure you get the correct falls and levels when laying the patio.

Thank god for this video. Really helped me out getting the levels right. Most videos skim over this and assume you've already done the levelling etc. Awesome, thanks

Love this, although I may have missed, how did you know where 52.5mm depth was down at the other end?

[sinabagherisarvestani]

nice man, you can also take a plastic or metal carpenter square and use it to adjust the string line, not as accurate but saves a lot of time .

Hi Gareth great video. I'm wanting to do sleeper edging for my patio, I'm creating the border first then filling my base with MOT. What's the best way to secure my sleepers down before doing the rest ? Do I just lay them on a bed of cement ?

[kevingrainger]

Thank you. An informative video without the bloody background music.

Hi I'm not a builder or ground worker but I have just set up my own lawn care business. On the string lines what knots do you use please when marking out the lines? In addition I'd be lining out metre squares for sowing new lawns as some spaces are too small for spreaders etc. Thanks.
