Am i wrong in thinking that it would not be that difficult and be way cheaper to just make something like this from scrap wood or something?

It probably wouldn't be that difficult, no, but these aren't expensive, are super-simple to install, and you don't have to make them yourself.

With wood screws, maybe, but there's not a lot of wood to work with there. I wouldn't be comfortable with it.

It would be very difficult. The handles are attached very well. It probably could be done by an experienced metal cutter.

Yes, and it's kinda of pricy. You should just take it to someone who knows how to do it because it came out expensive for me.

That would be a lot of trouble. It takes a while to put it together. And it isn't really meant to be taken apart once you get it put together.

You could do that with no problems. You would probably want to burn/melt the end you cut to keep it from fraying which isn't a big deal.

I haven't disassembled it, but I would think it would be as easy as assembling. I wouldn't personally recommend for what you are describing as I think it would be too much to deal with and not real practical to haul along. Not a light load and lots of parts to screw together.

Not too hard. Took about half an hour. Certainly would be easier having some help. I did it by myself. I'm comfortable building things so doing it myself wasn't a stretch for me. If you've put together IKEA- type furniture, then this would be very similar.

I never thought of trying that. I don't know if this is sturdy enough to do what you have planned.

Not very easily. Like someone else said, bamboo of plain sticks and wire or strings would be easier

Nothing is real wood anymore, but it looks good when completed and has a nice finish. Real wood would cost at least 3 x more, I'd think. I'm satisfied with it. It's not trash composite, but well designed and solidly built. Takes a few hours to build, but you most likely won't be disappointed if you buy it.

How long it takes depends on how good you are at "this" kind of thing. It is not easy - it is not especially difficult. If you follow the directions and are relatively strong - it's not a problem. I would recommend that you assemble it where you are going to use it as it is rather heavy. We didn't have to use any special tools - I can't remember if they came with it, but there was nothing uncommon that we needed to go out and buy.

I'm that it's possible, but, unless you have a very gentle touch, you'd probably remove some of the wood, also. There are many products that you could buy to get the job done without it being very costly.

It looks very possible with some slight modifications. I like to make custom out of store bought items and it's a project that I would take on. Best of luck!

You can do it either way. The least expensive way is doing it yourself but the simpliest is buying the piece already done.

I've done it with a tree, but it is very tricky. I don't think you could do it all in one piece, you would probably have to do it in parts, which is fine, because you can't tell once it is on the wall anyhow.

I agree with another commentator: it would be too costly and you really must work quickly with it else you will not be able to mold it correctly.
