patio

A patio (, from Spanish: patio [ˈpatjo]; "courtyard", "forecourt", "yard", "little garden") is an outdoor space generally used for dining or recreation that adjoins a residence and is typically paved. In Australia the term is expanded to include roofed structures such as a veranda, which provides protection from sun and rain.

    Sealing an Indian Sandstone patio (100m sq.)

    Hi, Lithofin MN Stainstop appears to be the professionals' recommendation for sealing this stone. 1) Am I right? 2) Can I ask for help to find best suppliers? 3) The lowest price I saw on the internet was est. £137 for a 5L tin. Does that seem about right?
