The initial estimate cost for the materials is $750 for 520' of steel tubing and $300 for twelve sheets of eight' by four' half inch plywood. Additional money is needed for delivery costs and to buy saw blades and welding consumables. Any money left after the cage is complete can go towards the purchase of additional part bins, tool chests or other enhancements that would be useful.

== Comparison to Ready to Assemble ==
There are members who are in favor of a store bought, ready to assemble shelve because they are much less expensive to buy. If you compare a typical shelf system to the proposed you will see that this is not the case.
This system [http://www.homedepot.com/p/Gorilla-Rack-5-Shelf-30-in-x-12-in-x-60-in-Freestanding-Storage-Unit-GR5-3012-5PCB/203665268?MERCH=REC-_-NavPLPHorizontal1-1-_-NA-_-203665268-_-N] is thirty inches long by twelve inches deep and with five shelves which come out to eighteen hundred inches, or twelve and a half square feet of storage for forty-nine dollars and ninety-seven cents. The final cost comes out to four dollars per square foot.
The material estimate for the proposed shelves is one thousand dollars and the cost of one of the six modules is one-hundred and sixty-seven dollars. One shelf module measures be forty-eight inches by eighteen inches with six shelves that calculate to five thousand-one hundred and eighty-four square inches or thirty-six square feet. The final cost in dollars per feet is only four dollars and sixty-three cents per square foot.
