A moderately sized compost pile is about 4 feet deep and 8 feet wide, with a dividing fence in the middle for keeping two separate piles. If it were built against an existing fence to minimize the boards needed, that layout would require about 20 feet of boards (4+4+4+8) and 2 gates, with a material cost of $100-200 depending on the type of wood used. It would probably need to be replaced every 3-5 years due to wood rot too. Has anyone found a less expensive way to build a fenced area for composting? In response to Education Scatter >

A price comparison between the pictured composter and a simple fenced compost pile may be in order as well. Very interesting information.
