Can you lay a patio in the rain?
Our tradesman has a window to start the patio next week but the forecast isn't great. Can slabs be laid in wet weather or should we wait for a dry spell?
Expert Trade Answers
"Depends on how hard the rain is really. Just have to be careful that the rain doesn’t wash out the sharp sand and cement mix from underneath the slabs"

"It’s difficult, mainly no as the mix gets too watery to be able to lay making it 10x more difficult to get a levelled patio"
