B & Q Patio Slabs

The cheap £1.18 ones!

Are these long lasting or do they crack, the wife thinks they look a bit thin!
I dont want to pay loads, we only need 30, but wasting my money is not on the top of my agenda! if i hit 'em down, will they live to tell the tale?

I have a concrete base down already, will cement slabs down too.

Anyone had experience with said cheap slabs?

Thank you.
Why is it, when you actually need something, the discount offer finished the day before?

    They are obviously a little bit more delicate than the more expensive slabs but should still be fairly robust.

    Just remember to bed them in with mortar so that there are no large voids as this makes them more prone to crack over time.

    And use a rubber mallet to tap them down and level, not a claw hammer :-)
