We're doing a patio around the hot tub and chose Lowes' Cassay Marquette pavers - they're heavy but you get more done quickly. They're listed as 24x13.5 but that's the whole width of the chevron = 24", and the height of a side being 13.5. The actual paver is more like 24x18 with missing space on the edges and middle-bottom.
They've got a cool chevron pattern and come with four different designs.
The problem is, they don't provide a pattern to lay them out (like they do for some other pavers). We tried laying them in rows, with 1,2,3,4 on the first then 3,4,1,2 on the next but there were really ugly lines going down the patio.
Lots of hunting online turned up only one good starting point:
Some time fooling around in Excel with the drawing object and we came up with this repeating pattern that we liked. There are 12 pavers used, 3 each of the four patterns. We tried to minimize the number of areas where there are few lines as well as areas where there are lots of tiny lines.
Hope this helps someone...
