RP from D&R: Has anyone used these to DIY patio?
We are looking to build a semi-permanent (i.e. 2-3 years) patio to put our outdoor set on. It needs to be about 10x10. We entertain a lot so we want something sturdy and that looks nice. We may use patio blocks but are also considering the below and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with them or something similar.

Re: RP from D&R: Has anyone used these to DIY patio?
I haven't used those products, but I would never use those Resin patio pavers. I'm not sure why you want it to be semi-permanent. Really, what does that mean? That you aren't going to install it well? Why spend any money at all if you aren't going to do it right?
Plus, if you entertain, 10x10 really won't be big enough. That's only 100 square feet. I'd suggest 250-300 square feet for an adequate patio.
If you cannot quite afford that yet, save up. Don't go the route you are thinking because it will look bad, won't last, and you'll essentially be wasting any money.
Those wood panels by the way, have to be placed on an existing surface. So you would already need a patio.
With that being said, on craigslist you can commonly find people with left over product from a large project. Then, I'd build yourself a patio.
Even DIY you'll need some tools that you can rent. Crushed limestone for the base, and finishing sand. Tools, you need a packer, and a large saw that will cut stones.
