Use a simple design, something easy.
Measure first-rectangular plans are easier than say a curved patio. Measure the two diagonals, make sure you have a good rectangle; the two sides should be equal. You will need a depth of 8". Dig out any grass or dirt and then with a level check your depth. The slope of the patio should be away from the house so water will drain away from the patio and the house.
Check your brick pattern by laying out a test pattern. Make sure of all your measurements and assure that there is 2" around the all the edges of the patio. The extra 2" are for edging. If you framed your area with 2x4's this will be easier. You should lay the brick on it's end right next to each other and tap them in place with a rubber mallet.

Remove your test bricks Authentic Calvin Ridley Jersey , but leave in your frame bricks.

Next add 2" of sand, use a long 2x4 to smooth out the sand over the surface of the patio. This is called "screeding" the sand. You will want the sand to be level and 2" below the top of the edging bricks. Use any extra sand that you removed by your "screeding" to level out low areas. Tamp down the sand making sure it is a level surface to begin laying on your brick.
Make sure you are using "paving brick" for your project. The 4x8 bricks are about 2' thick. All these directions are based on using paving brick.

After all the brick is laid Authentic Julio Jones Jersey , spread additional sand on top and use a broom to brush the sand into all the cracks around the brick, spray lightly with the water hose and if you see areas without sand, repeat spreading sand until all the cracks around the bricks are filled.

Just as a note Authentic Deion Sanders Jersey , along the way of laying this patio, don't step into the patio area, or kneel on the sand or bricks as you need level areas Qadree Ollison Jersey , use a sheet of plywood on top of the sand or bricks.
