Porcelain Porcelain - oudoor, adhesive and levelling system

I plan to lay a circa 8m x 4m patio using a concrete slab and fixing with tile adhesive. The porcelain tiles will be 1200 x 600 or 900 x 450, I want to use a half bond with the longest edge parallel to the 8m length of the slab.

I'm looking for recomendations on adhesive and a levelling system.

Kerakoll Biogel No Limits Standard set has been suggested as a good easy to use (for a DIY'er) adhesive with a circa 3 hr potlife, any views on this product or alternatives welcome.

I've used a Genisis levelling system on a bathroom floor and been very impressed with the results. I'd like to use a levelling system on the 20mm porcelain and would welcome any recommendations.

Thanks
Martin
 
Huge, thick porcelain paving slabs are not tilers jobs.

There was a time when tilers used to tile patios, but the new idea is to get builders to lay porcelain slabs like paving-stones on a poor base. Won't last as a trend I reckon.
