that's the same I'm after 30mm around the pool and 12mm for alfresco. Might even go 30mm for alfresco will need to measure gap from alfresco door to slab. 

Looking for white or light silver

Thanks for the link have looked at Stone Wholesales but no prices yet still saving.

Stone wholesalers were a fair bit dearer

This is interesting. I need to redo my pool surround. The sandstone pavers were there when we bought the place. The foundation is about 20cm of compacted sand and the pavers keep moving. Trying to work out the best way of settling the area.

[rednose]

Only way to do it properly is:

 

Option 1:

 

Fence out, pavers off.

 

Concrete slab dowelled into pool and then pavers straight on top of new slab.

 

Option 2:

 

Fence out, pavers off.

 

Buy a good quality mod wood and deck it the same height as the coping paver.

 

Option 3:

 

Fence out, pavers off.

 

Concrete slab dowelled into pool, same height as the coping paver, diamond cut in squares or diamonds and spray-crete it like this

^^ This guy knows

 

Take you time and do your home work, search search search. Work out cost per m2 for what you want done. 

I think the travertine is best. It's not harsh on your feet, looks great and easy to maintain.

 

Astro Tur? Some of that stuff these days look real.

Thanks guys, great advice.

This is the side facing the house. I put the folding doors and the deck in about 4-5 years ago. Putting in a level deck with the coping pavers will probably be the cheapest option and might suit the back of the house.

Although the more I look up diamond cut concrete its hard to surpass.

[rednose]

Looking at it from that view I would be using a composite type decking (mod wood)

 

Reasons being:

 

-Large amount of concrete will be needed

-Dowelling a slab that big may cause too much stress on the pool if there is movement underneath

 

Also, Modwood is hollow which will be cooler on the feet (have you ever walked on hot timer decking?)

We looked at mod wood great product but for use we need to have Flame Shield because bush fire area. Cost was to much but I really like the timber look around the pool.
