Any one used these before
I have access to about 40m2 of terracotta tiles. They are 200x200x15. Being so thin, im not sure what can be done with them.. Would they need a concrete base to able to pave a pergola with them, or would a solid roadbase/sand footing do the job?
Thanks in advance

I reckon you are going to have to bed them in a cement/concrete mortar, due to the thickness (thinness). They can be a great feature, especially if they are old ones - but same even with newies. Reckon you will need a thin concrete slab first then lay them in a stiff mortar, but a good tile glue would do the job (except outside).
If they are outside, I suspect even a roadbase and sand bed will move enough over time for them to crack.
Let us know how you go with them.
