What happens here

Begin laying the patio pavers (cobblestone style) on the prepared gravel base. Ensure a consistent pattern and tight fit between each paver. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap pavers into place and maintain an even surface. Once all pavers are laid, spread polymeric sand over the entire surface, sweeping it into the joints. Lightly mist the patio with water to activate the sand, which will harden and lock the pavers in place, preventing weed growth and insect infestation.

Goal: Install patio pavers and finalize the patio surface.

What they say

wanted a thicker material also. Uh it's just easier to kind of fabricate box with this. It's a little more sturdy and it's just going to look really nice. So the perimeter of our box is going to be this a use and then we'll have uh shelves that are going to be the same. So, we've done is we've ripped it down to 5 in because we're going to make a 10-in box. We're going to join two of these together. Uh, it's going to look really sweet, I think.
