BETONEXConcrete Grass Pavers - Breeze Block Paving Bricks ABS 2mm Parking - Plastic Mold for Pathmaker

They look great. I have cracked a few getting them out of the mold.

Excelente

Really disappointed with this mold. First off, the plastic is incredibly flimsy and one of the points was already dented on arrival. Also, you can only pour one mold at a time. I have other concrete molds and you can fill them and let them semi-set and then lift the mold and get on to the next one. With this mold you have to let it set completely which means it could take weeks to cover a sizable area.

The material is heavy duty and built to last. It is easy to use and easy to remove the finished product...however, if you plan to work a large area, you will probably need several of them. Consider a space that is 12'x20'. The mold is 16"x16" so you will need 162 blocks. Even if you can manage to cure two blocks per day it will take nearly three months to make the blocks with one mold. With four molds you can do the job in about 5-6 weeks.

I want to like this, but it is hard for me to for a couple of reasons. The first is that it only comes in a pack of one which means you are either only making a couple or you're going to be working for a very long time to have enough for anything substantial. It makes a nice block, but I am curious about the long term integrity as it's got the holes. I probably won't create anything too exquisite with this but if I have a little project where I need a couple blocks I might use this.

This is a big paver mold, and on a basic level it definitely works... but it's not ideal.The main issue is that it is a single piece of vacuum molded ABS plastic. There's just no reason it should be so expensive for black ABS with simple geometry.More than that, it's not extremely thick plastic but also not particularly flexible like a silicone or coated rubber would be. This is extremely susceptible to cracking and breaking, especially when demolding.I think this would be better either with a more flexible material, or if it were a multipack at this price range.

The BETONEX Concrete Molds Paver Mold Block Pavers Mold ABS 2mm Parking - Plastic Mold for Concrete Paving Cement Mold is as shown and described in the listing. I review this with the caveat that it just arrived this afternoon and I have not yet used the mold. I will say that it seems light. I can see that silicone mold release will significantly improve the opportunity for success, Because the mold material is light and does not have much flex, I know that extra care will have to be taken when unmolding and to not make these pavers in freezing weather. The expansion/contraction of the water in concrete, and any flex when flipping the mold or trying to lift it off will crack the mold. I am hoping to use these pavers not for a driveway, but for an edging pathway between landscape beds and lawns. I would like to plug creeping thyme, Corsican mint, and other low growing herbaceous plants in the negative spaces. Before the weather turns this weekend, I hope to pour 1 or 2 blocks and will report back here an update. I will turn the blocks out onto 1’ plywood for curing and cover to protect from freezing.

Unfortunately it is too late in the season to use this product so testing will have to wait until the spring.Pros:- We really like the design of the final product.- The instructions say that any oil can be used as a release agent. I'm not sure if this will actually work but I will see in the spring.Cons:- There is only one mold in the package. The instructions say to wait 24 hrs before releasing the paver. So it is going to take a while for us to create the 10 or so pavers we need to create the small patio we want. I am also worried that it will be difficult to maintain color consistency between 10 or so batches of concrete.- The mold seems fairly flimsy. I haven't used ours yet but there already damage/cracks in two of the center diamonds.
