Re: 14x16 Patio
It looks good, but what kind of magic do you use to suspend that brick?

Re: 14x16 PatioQuote:
around that brick line. It should rest only on the brick ledge, not on the flat work, which will move. I've seen it over and over, either the flat work, the brick, or both will crack when your concrete heaves on the outside edge. They must have laid the brick on an angle iron to keep it isolated from the concrete work to begin with.

I add the 4x6's just to be safe until I poured the concrete. The next day I went back and mortared in the bottom row of brick that sat on top of patio.I used two pieces of expansion joint on top of the patio for the patio to move during the seasons and not bust out the mortar.|

Re: 14x16 Patio
No expansion/control joints on the slab? Also, did you put a gravel base down?

Re: 14x16 PatioQuote:
Re-read my previous post on the control joints I did not put gravel down as the base was already well compacted undistributed earth. |
