The Weber Kettle, while looking cool, has one serious drawback - the grill is not height adjustable. I barely use mine anymore, preferring a much cheaper barbecue I have where you can move the grill up and down...

real bbq, not sure its worth three grand though!
Its a grill.
Grill- To cook quickly over moderate-to-high direct heat.
BBQ - To cook slowly using low indirect heat.
Sorry to be pedantic but they are both very different methods of cooking, often you can grill on BBQ but rarely can you BBQ on a grill.

So, not for the structural walls, for the "unit" walls.
Currently the floor is a layer of compacted Type one, do you think I’m better off laying the walls directly to this with a good spread of mortar on the ground, and then paving around the units.
Or paving the whole area and then paying the blocks directly onto the paving?
doing the latter would give a more solid base for the walls, and would also mean the patio would be a lot easier to lay as just one big square really.

I'm only going by the blurb, it also says foundations on the Ceylon site, I hope this is right!
"Celcon Standard grade is extremely versatile and can be used below DPC as infill for Beam and Block flooring systems, as well as above the ground in walling applications
Extremely versatile
Water resistant
Frost resistant
Infill for beam and block floors"
only thing I'd say is that frost resistant isn't the same as frost proof. That little pedantry aside good luck with the build "Celcon Standard grade is extremely versatile and can be used below DPC as infill for Beam and Block flooring systems, as well as above the ground in walling applications

Only got two days to decide this, any comments or feedback at all?Currently the floor is a layer of compacted Type one, do you think I’m better off laying the walls directly to this with a good spread of mortar on the ground, and then paving around the units.

Just ordered the cladding for the units/table base, a slight hint of green, should offset the grey and wood nicely, and make it a bit more "garden" rather than bathroom.

Looks like a great setup - for what its worth i have that weber and never have any issues with height - i always use 2 of those pre-bagged coal things and it works brilliantly (and hasnt fallen apart like the 3 homebase equivalents before it...)
What are you doing about drainage? I had a patio like that and it was a pain on that front without clear drain work around the permiter
