Yes, it all came from 80/20's garage sale on ebay. I think the al sticks were 4 ft or so and I cut them to length. Not too much scrap was left over. The materials make a very sturdy, easily put-together frame. I really likes the door hinges because the doors can lift off and detach if necessary. The framing accepts 1/4" thick panels and form a tight seal using their rubber strip glazing. If you don't need to see thru all sides and top, you can save some using 5/16" hollow cored plastic sheeting instead. I don't remember the exact name of the material but itis similar to 200# cardboard in construction design. Price is about $26 bucks a 4x8 sheet at Menards. Sign companies use a lot of it. Plexiglass is $132 a sheet around here. The 80/20 portion was approx. $170.00 with all the hardware. Mike over there provides excellent service. Shipping, packaging, communication etc is +1. Thanks for the nice comments. Good luck to you. I have been watching your posts and revisions. It takes time.
