I spent an hour in Bunnings and less than $120 and it took about an hour to hour and a half to dig out the area (1.2 x 1.2 metres) lay and level some road base (4 x 20kg bags from Bunnings) and lay the pavers.

The 75 x 35mm treated pine is 2 x 2.7 metre lengths. I got some thick 75 x 75mm L brackets and some 25mm roofing screws to form the square.

If you do it make the lengths about 1.25-1.30 metres to allow for the thickness of 2 of the lengths that go inside the square and 2 that go outside the square. Plus your pavers have to clear the top of the screws in the L brackets, so give yourself a bit of room for that.

Greg.
