granite setts contact cookie 07968582231
driveway to 17th hundreds country house in the cotswolds our remit to use a suitable material. we chose a reclaimed granite sett cubes with varying sizes to form a bogen pattern.we used a band of 3 setts to all outsides. view to house
this gives us levels and falls for water we also place our gully pots to catch all the debris they are fitted with sludge buckets 
we then started from the far side working to the gate we set up our templates which i designed my self.they are better than the old way of laying.
the setts are laid on a 4/1 sharp sand cement mix tapped in to level with lump hammer 
as you can see we have a gazebo x2 which gives us 32m2 of protection from rain and sun they are tested to 70mph winds there from poptents northern ireland.
the start f the bogens

working under lights very good for winter work as we stay local to the project we like to work 12hours if we can except friday noon finish to head home 4 hours to york from here
moving up the driveway rain every day and wind but we love laying setts in any weather.
starting to take shape now 
side parking area we changed the way the bogens went looked better than trying to lay them through the band 
the house in sunshine .

looking down as you can see we have to use the smaller "setts" to start the bogen once you get into the swing of it its fun.
