From doing this i can kinda see why they cost alot .Its taking me so long to do it
The wood cost is about 145 nuts/bolts 8 and not got the paint /or woodstain . Im betting finished its going to be about 170 . Then if i add my hours building it ( As an electrician lets say i make a 150 a day that 450 +170 so 620 pounds already ) All that said companys selling like that link before will buy bulk orders so cost will be much less and they will have preset machines so less build time . Just noticed they want 150 pounds just to build it so god knows how it comes packed! Can't be that easy " From doing this iv come to the conclusion it's a massive saving if you dont work full time or just build weekends And that the most important thing is the fun in making it and the sense of achievement at the finished project .
Anyway heres an update
