Resin ones are good lots of colours and you can use it in the wet
I had a quick look at the resin ones & I dont think the sand would work with the hosing constantly id probably wash it all away.

Difficult decisions and that crazy paving isn't all it's cracked up to be
I always do them Dan's way. Seen too many slabs with disintegrated joint filling. Use damp sharp sand n cement 3:1, but not wet, and use a small wet dish washing sponge (scrubber on one side) to clean the edges of the slabs before the cement dries.
I do hope you're not offended, I'd rather not take you up on your kind offer.
Try Kurt or Broke.

Me patio joints ---
The stuff I used sets rock hard once it's done properly.
I hope he mixed his sand with cement and lets it get a bit wet and settle before trying to joint it.
Sounds good.
We couldn't do that as the lads laid them right up to one another, almost no gap at all. We thought it'd be OK, knowing naff all about it at the time. We just left them to it. (SIL and his mate who do a lot of landscaping for peeps.)
Then the weeds started! They can grow through a gap you can't even get a knife blade into.
and of course they have 6 months to grow before we can get to them.
Very good job done!
In France a drop off a patio of up to 90cms is OK, but in the UK I think it's a lot lower. 30 cms it appears.
UK Planning Permission for Decking: Garden, Raised & Ground in (2023)
Your new decking may require planning permission if it covers more than fifty percent of your garden, or is installed more than 30cm off the ground.
so yours looks just about OK.
I'm so pleased our last patio was properly jointed and has no weed issues!!
Grey day here today for a change!
Have a nice one peeps whatever you are doing!!
And @My Old Landy looking forward to your Fred!!!

Makes some interesting points but misses one thing which is that a DW NEEDS the stuff on the plates to act as a slight abrasive to ensure it can do its job.
The Frog couple who are coming to stay, the bloke always rinses stuff so much his wife once emptied it thinking it had done a cycle!
We never rinse, never have done. All we do is scrape excess fat off.

Brits could save £195 million a year - by not rinsing before loading dishwasher
The top reasons for pre-rinsing include not wanting to clog the dishwasher, and to avoid the machine smelling - but over half believe rinsing is pointless

Just the two of us, so we use one all the time. Better things to do than "your turn to wash, so I'll dry, then we'll both put away!!!".Just the two of us so a dishwasher is pointless
