    How much would materials for this cost?

    Would need dimensions but wouldn't think it would be that much

      Like mentioned above depends on dimensions and type of material, but just a wild guess I'd say in the $2-300 range.

          My guess would be upwards of 400

            You are looking at better than $500 maybe closer to $600.

              X2. White pine is not cheap and there are way more boards there than you probably think.

                $8,000,000,000 worth of labor.

                  Whatever you think it will cost -- say $500 -- add half again. Lumber and hardware always end up costing more than you think on a new project. Bear in mind, that structure has to be made to come apart, but also to hold together safely. Looks really fun, though!

                      Without seeing the plans, Id guess it would cost more than what you can buy it for. $700+ for materials (50 8' 1x4 appearance grade, 5 8' 1x6 a. g., 12 2x4's, 12 1x2's) plus hardware, pipe, sand paper, paint, stain, sealer and brushes). Then the time and labor to put it all together. I'd pay $1000-$1200 for it if I was in the market before I would attempt to build it! You could save a little money going with standard boards over appearance grade but the savings would be ate up in labor and scrap.

                        Quite a bit, you could use T111 then just cap your treads and tops with nominal lumber if cost is a concern. Would need to trim the corners if you went the route. Gonna be heavy! the black iron pipe is relatively cheap though
