valens Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I've got a flat concrete area just down some steps from the pool that I would like as a sitting out area. has anyone any ideas on how I can "pretty up" the concrete? Obviously tiling is an option but as it's 120 sq metres it won't be cheap. Are there any alternatives? I look forward to your advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I was going to suggest Astroturf but as I found out it's around €35 per metre, perhaps not! (€4200 for 120 sqM in case you were wondering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1steveuk Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I had a large area to do in the UK once, on a budget. I brought some large cans of "forecourt" paint, e.g floor paint, but an exterior version, altough you could use marine paint or deck paint.One small. light brown, I rollered onto the concrete in lines, roughly like the joins in crazy paving, after masking it with half inch tape, I rollered the darker brown into the larger gaps. let it dry, pull off the tape, and it looked liked I had paved it, when I hadn't.

Maricopa Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi valens, been away in the UK for a few days, hence the delay in replying.Saint-Maclou in Narbonne was where we bought the astroturf from. They have many different grades/qualities. Don't know if they are a national chain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
