    I think it is my Answer to my "Patio Problem ".
    I'm not in the $$ budget , Nor Physical Condition for Concrete work .but ,
    My Front Entry Should Say
    " Welcome In
    Peace & Love
    Abides Here " 💞
    I'm trying to correct the drainage from the gutters on this overhead roof .
    Is the expense of these tiles worth it
    I live in the midwrdt . Zone 5b with lots of Snow / R
    and Temp Variables
    Thank You for Sharing a Great Possibility for me and Others . It' s a Great Idea ⭐

    I was convinced this was the solution for my concrete deck. I went to IKEA and bought their Runnen tiles. They are made of a very cheap wood in Vietnam. They won't last a season. Ipe wood is much harder but it's still wood and will need to be stained/treated annually. Best solution is Trex or another brand of composite tiles that are maintenance free. Also those plastic frames creak when you walk on them.

Oh, well a little poured gasoline every year on the strip of weeds will kill it for a season. I think the plastic walkway might be good for 5 to 7 years...before it starts breaking apart and discoloring. Nothing permanent there. Someone's going to be walking outside and hurt their ankles on those low hung boxes...I'd fear the liability of pedestrians. All looks good for a little while.

    That is very pretty when its finished but holy flipping fuck waffles is it expensive. $25-$35/sq ft. Meaning that lil patio which is approximately 100 sq ft is $3500.00...

    Went by there last week, all that wood tile is now home to three tents and seven drug addict bums.

    I would have never covered that concrete. It just needs a power wash.

    Why go out of your way to introduce materials that in no way shape or form go with the overwhelming existing style of the building????

    She knew this old house was coming and couldn't pull weeds and pick up the leaves herself? It was literally a 10 minute job from start to finish. These city people can't even wipe their own arse.

    Don't sabotage a public source of compost by putting weeds in there, can't be sure the seeds will be killed off.

      Really? Compost rots. I doubt you'll find anything much OTHER than weeds in compost

    To begin, that tile is totally a color clash. Doesn't belong. Why did you need to pay someone to show you this unprofessional DIY hack?
    ? Also is going the be a royal pain to clean under. Saw some in a restaurant patio. Disgusting dirt beneath it.
