Hi, my indian flags are going down well and even if I say so myself looking good (even managed to use the dark jointing mortar); although only possible because of this site.
I now want to border them with some Setts. I've been looking at some dark granite setts that are set on a mesh backing. I'm keen to use these as they look good and should be easier to lay. However, what system should I use. They will be forming the outer border of the patio area with the indian flags one side and decorative gravel the other. Can I just bed them on a semi-dry 10-1 mix the same as the Indian flags, or do I need a concrete mix? If I use the semi-dry should I butter the edges to keep them in place? I'll post some photos soon, as I'm quite pleased with the way it's all worked out.

Thanks Tony. Also sorry I now realise that I posted it to the wrong forum. Yes it's only a patio, so the 10-1 mix will be good and I suppose I should butter the outside edges (where they are going to meet the gravel) to stop lateral movement. Thanks for all the advice, both from you personally and on the site. This is without doubt the best site I've ever come across on any subject. I certainly couldn't have done my patio without it.
