Browse Forums Paving & Concreting 1 Mar 01, 2016 10:03 pm Hi my query is about extending my existing tiled patio. There are three different layers that I would like to make a consistent height and then tile over. If you look at the pic the existing tiled patio height is what I want to tile over. http://s10.postimg.org/a6i6osqs9/outsid ... hanges.jpg However the existing tile patio which is 532cm x 167cm I want to extend out to reach the boundary of where the grass starts. There is already a lower concrete path on some of the area that I want to heighten to level with tiled patio using concrete but also over to the left there is also an area of grass that was dug out in order to extend and heighten that area with concrete also. The height difference between the concrete path and the top of the patio tile surface is approx. 13cm-14cm Looking at the best approach to extent and heighten the area adjacent to the tile patio area to make it level with the tile patio so that I can tile over existing patio and new extension. Keeping in mind I don't want to go through the hassle of demolishing the existing tiled patio or the concrete pathway which is 5 cm in thickness and sitting adjacent to the tiled patio. I am open to any kind of options or suggestions thinking outside the box of concreting also , that will extend and improve the outlook of the patio. So for example I thought about using those modular decks at Bunnings to use adjustable feet for decking but the issue I have is that I only have 5 cm of height between the existing tile patio and the inside floor so obviously I want the outside patio or deck to be lower or level but not higher. So I could for example use decking tiles on the existing tile patio and then compact and concreate the sand area only and then use the Bunnings modular decking adjustable legs to build a decking framework for the extension only, and then add the same decking tiles on top for consistency. I would say both styles you have pictured are steel. The lower chord of the first pic would be a massive lump if made using timber considering the size of the rafters.
