Measure your flags
The common size for rectangular patio slabs is 600 x 900 mm (2 x 3 ft).
Make sure the start of your tape measure is flush with the edge of your flags (don't include your grout lines)
Make sure your tape measure is flat and straight
If the edges of your flags are uneven, work with the smallest measurement.
There are three different options for you to choose from.
SINGLE TILE
-
shop stencils
The most common rectangular slab size is 3 x 2 ft (600 x 900 mm). We have a collection of patio stencils made to this size. You can fit one and a half square designs within your slabs.
MULTI TILE

You can also fit six small square tile designs within your 3 x 2 ft (600 x 900 mm) slabs. Simply select the multi tile version available on all our Rectangular Patio stencils.
CUSTOM STENCIL
-
If your slabs aren't the standard 3 x 2 ft (600 x 900 mm) we can stretch the design to fit your measurements. We're happy to make any adjustments like this at no extra cost :)
-
Some of our designs look better stretched than others. I've popped some examples above. But it is really all down to personal preference.
-
If you don't fancy the stretched look, and want to create the illusion of even slabs, we can make you a custom stencil using one of our more simple designs.
-
This works best with tile designs that are made up of 1 or 2 basic shapes. Here are some examples, but there are others, just have a browse through our tile collection if none of the above take your fancy.
For CUSTOM ORDERS, the more information we have the better! So send us an email with your exact slab measurements along with photos of your patio. Then we can craft the perfect stencil for you.
