Hello!
I've been considering laying a new patio for an outdoor pool table - not a very big patio though. I've read through a lot of the site, and come to the conclusion that I need to have either a thick layer of DTp1 or concrete for the sub-base, to hold the weight of the table.
I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or other things I should do to make sure it holds the weight fine? The bits of the site I've read seem mainly concerned with occasional traffic - like a car driving over twice a day. This, however, would be constant pressure on probably 4 of the patio tiles - where the legs of the pool table will be. Do I need to do anything special with those particular tiles, where the legs rest? Or just ensure the sub-base is good enough?
Thanks for any help!
