I plan of painting mine blue so they will go with the landscaping. I have not does this project so I would not consider myself an expert by any means, however your pavers differ from all the other DYI videos I have seen in that they have ribbing on them. <br /><br />Most DYI videos for this project call for a paver with a smooth edge so they will adhere better. Here is a link for a model that may have worked better: <br /><br />http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-11-7-8-in-x-11-7-8-in-Red-Concrete-Step-Stone-71251/100333084?N=5yc1vZbx4b<br /><br />In addition, most videos call for a you to use a crank strap. These are pretty cheap.

But hey we learned from your failure soooo maybe my planters will be awesome. I want to put bamboo in them. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
