      Were you able to get your products? We are starting this week with 24x24 porcelain pavers. I had to order the tile sand and the bond adhesive from Amazon. Our local landscaping co did have the bases. I pretty much did a global search for the spacers. They should be here in a day or two. We're in MD.

    Great video!
    My pool pavers have sunken after a hurricane came through.
    My question is can I use polymeric sand? I have a pool cage and I can’t find one video of someone putting it in when there is a pool cage.

      Thanks for the positive feedback on our video. You can use polymeric sand in just about any paver or natural stone joint. Just make sure you have a drainable base like crushed stone and sand under your pavers. If they are on top of concrete polymeric sand probably won't work too well. Thanks!

    Great video guys, very informative 👍👍
    I'll be using 50mm 14"x28" slabs for my patio on top of Gator Base (👍).
    I also plan on using G2 BUT is it advisable or possible to set it) vibrate it into the joints with rubber mallets instead of a compactor. I've purchased a mat for a compactor but am worried about using a compactor

      Any compaction is better than none, a rubber mallet can work if you are worried.

    I stumbled across your video and channel when searching for "the best polymeric sand product" as a homeowner and not a person who does this for a living, you made this information very easy to understand, thank you. I am installing a product called the Alameda made by Keystone for our paver patio. I understand the use and height requirements of the polymeric sand at the "real" joints between the stones but thie Alameda has "fake" joints/spacings on the surface of each stone to create the illusion of four seperate stones per piece. The photos appear that these fake joints are also filled with the same polymeric sand but since they are not truly interlocking anything they appear to be filled all the way up to and even slightly beyond the top surface of the fake joints. Is polymeric sand okay to use in that setting or do you offer a better product for that sort of fake joint application? Sorry if that rambling question is too hard to decipher, I tried to explain as best as I could.

      Hi Robin, you can certainly use our products in a false joint paver such as you are describing. The "fake" joint slopes to allow water to drain to the real joint. However, it's still important that the polymeric sand is slightly below the top edge of the paver.

    Awesome video guys! As I had questions in my head, you answered them spot on! I do want to ask about nitro sand. When you say 25% stronger than the competition, do you mean polymeric, or other resin based sands?

    • @alliancegatorED
      @alliancegatorED  3 роки тому

      Good question! When we say 25% stronger, this is based on testing we've done with other resin based products on the market (not polymeric sand).
