Am I off my head or would these be suitable for a garage floor. I've bought a place and i'm taking loads of these up from the garden. I'm also building a new single garage.

If I have ready mix for the garage floor its around 2 to 3 m3 so not disastrous. However as loads of these are coming up I wondered if suitable. I reckon they'd be a pig to lay up to the wall with the weight and possibly any material saving is outdone by the time it takes to lay these compared to pouring some conny in.

Have i answered my own question?!

They'd need to be laid on concrete (see Flags for driveways so you're actually making additional work for yourself.

It's not a task I'd want to take on - I really can't detect any benefit - but it's not the strangest use of reclaimed 3x2s I've come across. In the late 70s, a certain pillock in Hindley, near Wigan, flagged his mam's bedroom floor with 3x2s because some of the floorboards were "a bit splintery". Obviuously, they hadn't discovered carpets or rugs in Hindley at that time! :(
