Hi first of all thank you what a great place this been reading through for the last couple of weeks and the info I have got from here is outstanding.
Anyway im now confused as to what to do re my sub base
I was just going to use concrete at 75 to 100mm then a full cement bed of 40mm for the Indian sandstone. Its only a smallish patio 8 mtrs total wide then l shaping out 2 mtrs and 3 mtrs. don't mind using type 1 just thought concrete was easer and stronger. Iv read about having to add drainage if using concrete is this correct?
Cheers Malc

Type 1, quicker, cleaner and cheaper.
Could use a lean concrete. Don't know why it would need draining though, other than laying it to a fall for water run off. When your patio is laid it will be an impermeable surface anyway, that's assuming you're doing the proper thing and bedding it on mortar.
