How much did your summer setup cost?

I'm planning a summer set up, and right now I have it costing $230.... I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

I have the wood itself costing: $128

I have the turf + m-Snow costing $102

I have some questions, too:

Do I need to cover the whole area of the set-up with turf? I'm making the kind of setup that has horizontal pieces of wood on the sloped part, should I just cover the bars itself in turf?

I have the bars that are part of the lip covered in m-Snow.

If you actually want to help, please message me and I'll show you my blueprint.

Thanks!
 
Mine was $40 initially ($30 for turf, $10 for enough PVC for one 10' rail) because I got all the wood for free. just go to a housing development or a lumberyard and ask for scraps or raid their recycle bin. over time i got more pvc for more rails.

on the downslope, you only need turf on the perpendicular 2x4's, but it wont really say you much money.
 
My dads a contractor and got the turf for free and the plywood was free. All we had to buy were 2x4s and PVC which wasn't expensive at all. I think we spent less than 100 total. Definitely worth it
 
Made mine out of pallets, 2x4s and 2 mattress frames I found at the dump. Stole a pvc and construction fence leaving the inly cost the turf, so in total I spent $35
 
Haven't finished mine yet but so far its cost nothing. Try to hit up people up that have summer setupsbamd arent using them that much
 
If you're looking for cheap or free wood look for pallets. You can usually find them behind stores. Just ask the manager. I found about 40 at a Harbor Freight and they said i could have as many as i wanted.
