I’m so grateful for this video!! I’m building my own backyard pond and I wanted to use concrete blocks but was wondering how to cover them, so I thought i might aswell use red bricks but now ima head back to the concrete blocks and cover with the same walking you used. Thank you so much great review and guide!

Haha I'm so glad you made this video as i put the same stuff around our pond and it drove me crazy especially the fact they are all over the place size wise and there were a few that were clearly just shite glued back together. They look awesome wet and from a distance but having a keen eye I'm always looking at the joints 🙃 Looking forward to the full video buddy 👍🏼

So you’ve had the same issues as me before with these things personally I bloody hate them they’re so temperamental and un square.. The customer is always thinks it looks great the one you have the eye so easy to spot the faults 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

And there was me thinking I was going mad installing this stuff on my garden wall. So much variation in the tiles. I also fixed using external tile adhesive and got it everywhere! Plus they're black slate tiles!! Given it a nice sealer coat, and it really doesn't look too bad at all. Way better than the wall bare and that in itself was crap and out of line - so using the adhesive gave me a bit of play in lining it all up. First thing wife said was "there's a few gaps in it!" - so glad a professional has this problem. I even used grinder to shave a few of the edges off to make it sit better. Not an easy job, but I like the look of it.

My neighbour is currently covering their patio wall with these things. They look atrractive until you come to the corners, especially the external corners, where they look exactly like the stick-on bricks they are. For me, I would build up the external corners with actual bricks (sliced to half depth), The corners would look like the corner of a house.. and the tile bricks would only fill in the straight runs. Much neater finish and the tiles look much more like authentic 'stone-walling' than stick-ons.
