I have started using screed pipes for the bedding sand in my paver installations. I must say I wish I had done this sooner. It's a breeze. The job I am working on is nearly 3000 sq ft. The sand went down at 600 sq ft per hour just me and the skid steer. Tomorrow I get to train a new guy how to do it. I suspect he will be trained and competent in about 15 minutes. I guess I feel pretty foolish for sticking to the string method for so long.

How long of a straight edge do you guys use when screeding, assuming the job allows a long one? I have been using a 8' and it seems like I could probably handle about a 10' by myself.
