Decking Tiles

Has anyone used Decking Tiles?

What size is 50cm square ?

a normal long ruler(school)is 30 cm`s if that is any help.

I am confused(doesn't take much!)
But I went on a conversition site & when I inputted CMetres to inches it read 19"
But when I inputted 50cm square to inches it said 7" square

50cm is 0.5 of a metre.

I've used decking tiles,but mine are 1mtr ones and made from heavy hardwood.

If you need any advice-ask away!

So if the Decking Tiles are 50cm2 what sort of area would 40 tiles cover?
Also do they need a frame under like 'normal' Decking?

10 square metres!

Any idea in Feet & inches?

about 30ish square feet so 15 ft by 2 ft or 5ft by 6ft. (roughly)

Decking tiles are always best fixed onto bearers to support their weight and also to allow air underneath to keep the timber dry.You can lay them however like paving slabs directly onto leveled sharp sand,but this will decrese their lifespan considerably and they will eventually move underfoot.

Mahoolis right by the way-10 square metres is what 40 tiles will cover.

The 50cm decking tiles dont need to be supported in the centre cause they wont 'flex' while walked on like the larger ones do.Ignore DIY centres for the bearers though and try timber yards or builders merchants and make sure its for exterior use.

Thank you
