Paving slabs over weed membrane ?

[GlennSpray68]

Hi All , I hope you will be able to help with the following query I have.

I am laying a garden path to a storage shed, the individual paving slabs will have a 100mm gap in between them and will be back filled with gravel.

Due to the irregular shape of the area i am covering, it would be more efficient (and easier) to fasten down the weed membrane (PVC woven type)first ,then lay the slabs on a mortar bed on top of the weed M.

I have laid a hardcore bed underneath , but am worried that the slabs will not be able to adhere properly and will not stay in place.

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice regarding this ?

All advice gratefully received.

Glenn

Hi All , Ignore my earlier post , funny how things suddenly sort themselves out !.

I've figured it out ,

1. lay membrane
2. lay slabs in postion and cut membrane.
3. fold back membrane and lay slabs on mortar.

Doh!!
