About This Product
For many homeowners, building a paver patio or walkway is simply too big and arduous a project. Lots of dirt, digging, hauling and labor. If you ask, most would say, I'll never do that again. Not anymore. Brock PaverBase is a lightweight panel that replaces bag base and most of the sand used in the "old way" of doing things. Now you can build the patio or walkway of your dreams in a weekend without all the sweat and fatigue. Brock PaverBase offers many advantages over traditional project base construction.

- Simply lay the interlocking panels on top of sand layer and you have a stable and accessible job area, which speeds up the process of laying pavers

Questions & Answers
Can you use this to Top and smooth out 57 gravel rock base that has been leveled for 5k pound hot tub?
57 Gravel has almost no fines, so after you lay your long lasting landscape fabric, I would screed 1" sand and hand tamp. Use a straight edge from high to low end of slope to make sure there are still no low spots before laying you panels. Regarding the 5k hot tub, there are a couple important things to consider with hot tubs. 1) Is the hot tub built with equal weight distribution over the entire bottom surface or is it framed where all the weight is on the frame, outside area? 2) Can the paving stones handle the weight of the hot tub? 1) Equal weight distribution: You can use the panels if your paving stones can handle the weight. Most paving stones (patio stones, patio pavers) do not have any required specs. The only ones that do are driveway pavers for vehicles (8,000 lbs./ per sq inch). 2) Framed hot tub, weight not distributed: There are two ways to prepare base under hot tub. Use traditional base under hot tub and use Paver Base panels for base for the patio or walkway leading up to or around the hot tub. Use 1" of base material for additional support, use Paver Base panels (following steps). You may get some compression of the panel, some amount under the .68" thickness, which you may or may not notice. Again, make sure you use a paving stone that can handle the weight.

How difficult is to cut these?
The PaverBase panels are easy to cut with a sharp utility knife. Questions call Tim - The PaverBase Guy anytime at 813.431.8259.
I used brock base under my patio pavers & spaced them apart for decrative rock trenches between them. In the center I left it open for a water fountain. It's very heavy... total over 400 lbs. Is the brock going to support it?
The PaverBase panels can handle up to 8 psi, so the answer depends on the size of the fountain base. Questions call Tim - The PaverBase Guy anytime at 813.431.8259

Can I put this directly over native soil
Do I need paver sand under polypropylene panels
Yes, you will need to use all-purpose leveling paver sand (step 2) under the PaverBase panels for all applications except concrete overlay. Questions call Tim - The PaverBase Guy anytime e 813.431.8259
Do these prevent sinkage
No not when the panels are installed correctly. Compacted ground with proper 1/4" per foot slope and use a straight edge or side of straight 2x4, in the direction of the slope, to fix all the high and low spots. This is important as the panels conform to the ground. Questions call Tim - The PaverBase Guy anytime at 813.431.8259
