How do you prepare and finish a quad floor using slate rock? ...

Help i own bed bugs and no bed...
Answers:    if I were to do it I would enjoy a bed of sand or small gravel for the slate to rest on

then start within a corner and work out laying your tiles making sure everything is smooth as you go

your outside edges would entail an lip or edge to hold your tile and sand from slowly working away from the house

I've never laid slate for a quad, but that how I would approach it
