yup, built a 10' x 3' three bay composter this weekend for my parent's summer place. Spent an hour at the lumber store and an hour precutting most of the lumber to length at home so I could slap it together quickly in an hour once i got there. Took me 4 freaking hours. Half of it was working with that square grid chicken wire stuff especially when i realized I did not have enough so had to cut a bunch of short strips to use the sideways width as length. that stuff has sharp ends and a mind of its own and won't lie flat to cut even with two wet 4x4 posts weighing it down.

If you see a bay composter at the despot with the panels assembled already, just buy it.
