My favorite kinda work, done yards like this all over the country.
Those rollers save some hard work, had a little patch to do the other week and tamped it by hand:laugh: forgot how hard it can be.
I'd have maybe fired a few dowels in.

once you have used a roller and/or a vibrastrike there is no going back to hand tamp,I allways use a vibrastrike on house oversites etc etc so easy no banging wood up and down
Have a look at this tony,everything concrtete/brickwork trowels/etc, this is the roller we use,i bought the engine/power pack from ebay for £1k,tubes cost £350/500 each,speedcrete manufacture the tubes in the village near my yard, all tools in stock there,
speedcrete
