Shopping List
Your kit arrives with every custom component and all the hardware. Here's the short list of what to grab locally. If adding the raised garden beds, the additional materials should cost approximately $250, depending on local rates.
Materials Needed
Cattle Panels~$90
3 needed at ~$30 each. Standard size (16 ft × 50 in). Too long to ship affordably — which is exactly why you grab them locally. You'll make a few cuts with bolt cutters during assembly.

2×4×16 — Pressure-Treated~$36
3 needed at ~$12 each. For the base frame. Pressure-treated matters here — it sits close to the ground and needs to resist rot and moisture.
2×12×12 — Pressure-Treated~$120
Optional — 3 needed only at ~$40 each to add the integrated raised grow beds. Pressure-treated again, since these hold soil and moisture.
