I am laying some tegula paving and will be parking a caravan on it for storage so wheels will be in the same place all the time. i know paving should not sink, but to ensure this does not happen, I was thinking whether mixing some cement with the Grit sand in the wheel area could be beneficial.

Whats anybodies thougts on this?

Thanks

David

no need to do that what so ever. If you construct the base and bedding properly it won't happen and caravans weigh so little that it's not putting much pressure on the paving anyway. Make sure the base is deep enough and the wacker plate is heavy enough and you'll be grand.
Can't see it from my house

Caravan 1600kg over 4 wheels, subbase 125mm MOT Type 1 well compacted.

If I wanted to be belt and braces would it work?
