Default Compacter - Anyone have one?

I literally have an area about 2 square meters total in the shape of a triangle and I want to pave it. I hardly want to hire a compacter for just that.

Does anyone have one that I can borrow for 30 minutes or is there anyone that can drop past in Kingsley and do it for me? 6 pack of what ever you poison is if you can help me out.

Thanks all.
Dan.

Post thumped into the ground, watered and trodden on, drop a paver from shoulder height, just a few options for a small space, oh and there is simply walking on it with small steps.

Bunbury might be a bit far from kinglsey...

Go to midland brick, we got a 'stamper' for our small job.. Think it was $25??

Basic idea:
broom stick with 1 foot x 1 foot wooden pad on bottom..

Stamp ground, water, level ground, water, stamp ground again.. lay pavers...

Works a treat for small areas.

i have one in rivervale you can borrow for the weekend.

You will also need it when you have finished paving to run over the top of it.
