How to tile the outdoor area?

[kaye2]

I have wooden boards in my patio and want to change it to tiles. Do I need to concrete first or can I lay the tiles on the dirt?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @kaye2. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about laying tiles.

Could you please tell our helpful members a little more about the type of tiles you wish to install? That would assist them in providing advice.

Typically, it would only be thicker pavers like the Brighton Masonry 400 x 400 x 40mm Charcoal Mypave Paver that could be laid onto compacted ground. Thinner 20mm pavers and tiles require a concrete slab and must be glued onto it.

Here are a couple of helpful step-by-step guides: How to pour a concrete slab and How to lay floor tiles.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
