Outdoor tile fails for one reason: water. We excavated and compacted in lifts, set a geotextile, then laid 20 mm porcelain on a screeded sand bed with a consistent 1.5% fall away from the threshold. The cedar deck was cut back to accept the new edge, and every paver was tapped to the same plane before the joints were swept and locked.
