plates = pavers or tiles ?

good question. I don't really know the difference. I saw ads for what looks to be 1'x1' or maybe 2'x2' plastic thingies that lock with each other and they said you place those on top of the existing patio/deck/etc.

let me see if I can find an example

at $6 a square foot, I'd just go with ceramic tile
