Does anybody know of an on-line calculator for a 3 size range of flagging ?
Im using 600x600 600x300 300x300
I know the site has calcs but it is 5 size and upwards
thanks

As a rule of thumb it would take 16 large 16 med and 15 small to cover approx 10m2. It's a difficult pattern to do without crossing your joints etc. If you could add a 900x600 then it would be easier. Good luck.

The gaffer here (Tony) offers a design service for such projects.

There is confusion between "butt-jointing" and "close-jointing" which is explained here
Sadly, this confusion is not helped by different manufacturers using different definitions and making different recommendations. In essence, close jointing is what you want.

I think i will stick to the intended brochure pics/guidelines.Worst thing when customers have seen paving in a designated brochure, they think it is gospel.I've done many a paving job and even upto now they question methods such spot blobbing and ask why i'm not doing it that way.I've recently seen a job round corner from me,spot bedded 35mm flags for a driveway,suffice to say it is all broken up.I quoted said job as well,100mm mot,sharp sand screed and decent flags. I give him a smug look at his "drive" when i walk past with dog.
Dog has a piss on it aswell.
