Hi all, I'm building a patio. Its roughly 15ft x 20ft. I've dug my hole and leveled it and allowed for water run-off, shoveled 4 yards of 3/4inch gravel into it. Now I'm ready to tamp. My question is: Since (incase I didnt mention it) my patio has only one 90degree corner I find it hard to set up lumber for screeding so I'm wondering if I can just check it roughly for level and do the screeding with the tamper if I start in the middle and work my way out to the edges checking with a straigh-edge and line level and 4ft level as I go along? any pros out there or DIY'ers who have built their own patios? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Curt |
