1. Big paving slabs about 60х60 centimeters keep within one number and path of meters to ten it is possible to lay out in one day. Width in 60 centimeters approaches in order that you could pass on such path with the garden cart. The main lack of tiles of such size is that they really weigh much. For production of form take bar of 50х100 mm and accurately cut it on pieces 60 and 70 centimeters long, on two pieces of each size.

2. Connect the turned-out small bars in square by means of self-tapping screws. Do not connect the party "tightly" - when you take out ready tile, you should weaken form a little. Now think over construction of plain working surface - doors from old furniture or the equal wide board laid on scaffold and exposed on level will approach. The size of surface has to be not less than 70х70 centimeters that the form for tile was located on it. It is possible to arrange, of course, it in the shed on stationary table, but there is not always opportunity to drag heavy tiles on installation site. For form bottom for tile take piece of plastic or organic glass of the necessary size, or lay polyethylene on working surface.

At first just put future form in the form of short flight of stairs - on two side bars lying strictly in parallel, put five short so that in form four squares of 30х30 centimeters were formed. Pencil note position of joints, check correctness of corners by means of the square. Saw with small cloves saw through grooves of 3 cm in depth, the hammer and chisel take out these bars. Now, inserting short bars grooves into grooves of long side crossbeams, collect form under paving slabs. It impregnate parts with means for safety of tree. After tiles dry, you will easily sort form that without problems to take out them. By the same principle it is possible to make and form on bigger quantity of tiles - be guided by the square of working surface on which there will be form.
