@davidthomson7241 3 месяца назад

Hi Craig. Great video. We have a path where each slab is separated by pice of grass. Our dogs keeps digging at the grass sections. Therefore want to lay gravel instead of the grass & for a border around the side of the path. I’ll then use the resin. I’ve got a couple of questions: - What is the depth of gravel have to used for the path - What base would I need for the gravel Thanks in advance

@MrandMrsDIY 3 месяца назад

Thanks mate! This type of pour on only goes to the top layer to keep it all together, my advice would be to prep the base with MOT roadstone, then you can put your weed guard on it, then your stones/gravel! Cheers

@elvinrivera5638 2 дня назад

Will the resin stop grass from growing in the areas with the rock/gravel???

@georgeboothroyd2866 Месяц назад

Ace video. Inspiring! What stones are used in this video? If laying a new path driectly on top of a grass lawn, what do you need to place beneath the stones? Hardcore? Or can you get away with just a weed proof membrane?

@MrandMrsDIY Месяц назад

So underneath your pathway, it should be prepped properly, I personally would tamper the surface down so its nice and strong, then overlay the membrane over it, because the resin only goes on the surface. Cheers

That's interesting, I didn't know you could do your own resin. I have a lawn I've wanted to put a path into for a long time but I'm put off by the natural contours, I wont level well. This may be a decent, simple alternative. On your demo, how much resin did you use for that area? Was it the whole container? Is that the 5kg one?

@MrandMrsDIY 3 месяца назад

Yes it was a 5kg size for this pathway, very very easy to do!

@vr6410 Месяц назад

I absolutely love this idea. Is it really expensive to do compared to concrete? Maybe not as beautiful, but is it more cost-effective?

It depends what size pathway you've got, you also have to bear in mind that the sub base should be prepped properly and then pour the resin over the stone! Cheers

@johnnymacf1 4 месяца назад

Looks amazing for the DiYer like myself but ive just been to their website and worked out it would still cost nearly 8k if we wanted to treat our gravel driveway with it. Thats still a bit much. Maybe if the product becomes cheaper in the future. Still a fantastic looking product though 👍
