Our estimate for the materials in the 8ft fixed is about $550 to $790 at typical home-center prices. Lumber prices vary a lot by region and season, so the plan set includes a workbook where you type your own prices and the total works itself out.
What sizes are included?
This set includes 8ft fixed, 8ft mobile, 10ft fixed and 10ft mobile, each with its own drawings, cut list and materials list.
Do I need advanced woodworking skills?
