Firth Industries - How to lay pavers

[@ivanf1630]

Best video on KZbin for paver installation. The attention to detail is truly appreciated.

[@bobnewman5688]

Finally, a paver installation video that makes sense, and doesn't gloss over how to level the base material. Good job.

[@bravo2966]

They glossed over how to compact the corners though.

[@thefamousdjx]

@@bravo2966 Also what happens if after compacting it doesn’t go the 10mm that you thought it would

[@RobertWainwright-l2n]

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.

[@robertsaca3512]

Except that some of it is illogical lol

[@jonathanjacobo612]

Old videos like these still explain it better

[@pibblesnbits]

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!

[@jeanrafes]

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 KZbin lol

[@passmoreacn]

By far the best video I’ve seen for pavers. Thank you

[@brendanriley5543]

Finally found a video that shows how to lay the screen bars...... best subject video on the tube...

[@BernhardHofmann]

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.

[@StoneFlange]

I noticed that too haha!! Great video overall though :-)

[@giselleleonard3974]

[@sam111880]

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.

[@vessmachineen193]

nice job. I will recommend your video to my customers. we are a paving block machine manufacturer company located in Turkey.

Very professional men who know what they're talking about.

[@Eddiejfalcon]

Not all correct but in general not bad. Probably the best one on youtube so far.

[@Order-in-Chaos]

(**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.

[@rosamaglio7014]

Order in Chaos yep I’m in cold climates that concrete will just crack and ruin the job . I always use edging instead

[@trobi81]

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!

[@JohnSmith-4U]

aaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhh

[@Humanity0101]

Very informative clear and precise demonstration. Much appreciated. Thank you😷

[@khawes0896]

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!

[@mattdiablo5488]

Really excellent instructional video. Remember subtitles click the cc button bottom right of video .

[@juicygoldengrapes]

😆 good call

[@wade5941]

Nice job guys. One suggestion - don't use plastic pipe. 3/4 to 1" Steel electrical conduit works great and does not flex.

[@timheasman2984]

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.

[@derrickharvey7487]

excellent and done with humour......great job

[@lavinsamuel]

Well Thanks to you. Added a new skill. Very well articulated.

[@boxingcoachdz6846]

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?

[@rurazrazmedia7479]

Best "how to video" on youtube

[@mistertewyew5422]

Great video. Excellent walk through of the process.

[@rumbodfarrokhy]

I really enjoyed watching your video,Thanks guys, great video!!

[@highhopes3121]

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.

[@MrSHAUN9965]

thanks guys very informative cheers from the uk!! 👍👍

[@MrJohngi1207]

Excellent video. First class

[@GeneralMartinus]

Aren't you supposed to lay the pavers at a slight off level away from the house for correct water shedding direction?

[@GeneralMartinus]

GeneralMartinus 1in ever 6ft I heard.

[@MrFakit]

GeneralMartinus 10mm per 1m as per 4:20 in vid

[@SpencerThaPimp]

+GeneralMartinus 1 inch every 8ft? 1/8th inch every foot

[@thegamechanger2058]

Some people just don't listen.

[@robbiewatson1554]

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.

[@shalisajackson9353]

This video really great. Help me out a lot with our new patio.

[@AShearer76]

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together!

[@surindersingh-vm8us]

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 !

[@deekay2]

I assume a "whacker" is a compactor? If so, how do you attach a piece of carpet onto a plate compactor? Which side of the carpeting should be making contact with the pavers?

[@charlestehuia9263]

AWESOME thanks for the insightful video fullas,much appreciated

[@BuffaloDIY]

Good informative video! Does the drainage work okay with the cemented sides?

[@ethanjia6576]

Wanting to pave a small enclosed backyard. House entrance is facing east, out in the yard there are two walls on the east and south, a retaining wall on the north, how would you set the slop to direct the water away from the house? Thanks

[@aboilcrawl1279]

You could slope it towards the retaining wall, there should be drainage installed. Or permeable pavings.

[@stryker1144]

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.

[@Ultrarmx]

What happen to them? Only 3 videos posted.

[@lacretiawarren322]

Great Job I'm going to try this

[@robertgrlic6505]

One question... How can you have 65 mm at both ends if you dropped by 30 mm (pitch) at the front end?

[@DiRteEsTaNkInG]

Because they are working off the string line which is their finished height ,gave it 30mm fall but still 65mm below the string line which is their finished height

[@scorpiuswireless1]

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.

[@AlexGFitnessProduction]

awesome job boys whats the estimate for a Job like that?

A 2.5m long screed with a spirit level in it will save you time and strings... Only string you need is the one to keep pavers strait.

how come use didn't compact your screed bed before you screeded it, usealy a hand fload is good eneough to do it

[@fabster1973]

Great info!

[@fireblade211]

Great stuff.

[@mattsmith6824]

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

or you can just pour concrete 1 base no sinking or settling

[@fivelands1]

your sub base must have six inches of misto, in top that no less of three inches of sand ,i like your operation.
