Interlocking Tiles can be placed on most hard surfaces. However, it's important that the surface is as smooth as possible, with no bumps, large cracks, uneven areas or surface depressions that would allow the Decking Tiles to "rock" in place. If the surface is particularly uneven, you may need to level the surface with some patching compound or filler. We do not recommend the installation of Inter Locking Tile on bare ground.

It's easy to create unique patterns, designs and borders by using a combination of different tile styles. You can sketch your design on paper to try various design combinations. The possibilities are endless! 

Start by placing an Interlocking Tile in the corner of the area that you want to cover, making sure the two sides of the tile with the tabs showing are facing outwards in the direction you will be laying the tiles. Place the edge of the next tile without the tabs showing over the black connecting tabs so these tabs lock into position with the corresponding slots on the underside of the second tile. Repeat this simple "lock in place" process with the remaining tiles, working in a diagonal direction across your entire design.

You can generally avoid cutting Interlocking Tiles where you need to fit around fixed objects, odd shaped areas or against walls simply by filling in the gaps or spaces with medium sized pebbles, volcanic rock or other landscaping material.
