  • planning on laying some block paving at the weekend. Can I get away without hiring a whacker plate? The path is only about 900mm wide for the most part.

    Could I just hit it with a stick (with a large bit of board on the end)?

    The logistics of hiring something seems like more hassle than it's worth.

    Edit: just looking at hand tampers. That'll do it.

  • Hand tamping is usually ok, you usually end up wishing you had a whacker plate though! Given the right mix of tea and beer it becomes less boring.

  • The area is raised on both sides so I'm not even sure a whacker would even work that well as I don't think they're meant to go backwards? Will stock up on beer just to be sure.
