Brilliant video, lots of others don't go into enough detail, as for me this is the hardest part, especially when linking up to other slabs

So, you can lay 3/4” steel pipes down before you place any sand at all; then dump the sand on the pipes, raise the top of the pipe to the desired level and supported by the sand piles, once the pipes are levelled start dumping sand and you’re good to start screeding immediately.
With the pipes method, you don’t have acquire a level base with a trowel first (which could suck on a large project), and then put your flat bar screed rails onto your hopefully flat hand prepped surface.
You do however have to hand screed the void that is left once the pipes are moved.

Thanks for discussing the water drainage, the vast majority of the videos on YouTube don’t, which is really concerning when working around a individuals home.

[miransalih]

That's around exactly same size of mine that I want to laying a paving slabs, may I ask how many Ton sands did u use and is that a building sand?? Thank you

[gtig]

I thought you were not supposed to step on your sand. If have started laying my stones and I want to restart, do I need to replace my sand or can I just screed the same again? And does it matter if my pipe is 1" 1/4 instead of 1" or I should get the exact 1" pipe?

Did you cut the level over the bulb, or did it come tat way?
