Hi,

Very useful site. I'm laying an Indian sandstone riven patio area and can't find anything about what fall to use.

I've got two curved walls with stairs between and I want to slope away from these as there is no drainage in them. The paved area is only 12m2

Is 1:60 about right or too much?. I suspect water will always pool on them because of the irregular finish and i just need a slight slope to take off any really heavy rain.

Any way, thanks in advance,

Ben

As it says on the main website, 1:60 is about right for lightly riven flags.

OK, thanks Tony. I did look several times but didn't see it.

It's done now anyway. I used 1:50 in the end as it took me a bit closer to my ideal finished level.

I was going to ask for tips on mortar dye but i'll check the site first.

Correct fall for natural paving?
