They were really nice looking, and half the price of tile. I'll try to find the thread. Meanwhile, research concrete pavers, or something like that. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I will try to find the thread.
(Ha ha, quoting myself! What fun). Here is the thread about the pavers. Finishing the Lanai Floor

Just an option for you. Our lanai is cracking too. T & D said they would spray a stucco-like coating over it and then paint it ($1/square foot ONLY because it's under warranty), but our tiler said that may shift/heave/ recrack. We can see evidence of cracking elsewhere in the house, so we're going with tiling with the underlay that prevents the tile from cracking.

However, if you will be moving in a couple years, maybe the spray coating would work. I don't know how much it is if you're out of warranty.
