What's The Best & Most Cost-Effective Outdoor Flooring?

[X6GT 3]

Hi guys,

I'm seeking the expert opinion of the pro landed houses DIY-ers here... on your outdoor flooring. I hv tiles at the moment but it has been 11 years and I want to revamp my whole roof garden so I want a nice clean look.

The options are to:

1. overlay,

2. hack and put nice new black tiles like this: http://isaacmummy.bl...tion-again.html or

3. to cement up the whole area and/or put those epoxy resin type of flooring

I'm quite sure that hacking or even overlay would not be within my budget. From what I surveyed, it would be over $2k based on about 40 sq metres.

So I think I'm quite set on making it concrete lo... can paint black or something so easy to maintain. It's totally exposed to sun and rain, so need to be compatible.

Has anyone ever done those surface? Need REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE people to give their opinion and experiences. Maybe either like concrete in the IKEA carpark or those surfaces like in the hospitals kind. Just google "epoxy resin floor" or something. Wonder if anyone has any good lobang. I know it sounds giam, but... I really only have less than $1k to spend on this, maybe about $800 rather.

TIA to anyone who can provide sound advice or lobang...!
