I feel so dirty. I was making all those cardboard plans, and I only made 4 pieces, one of which my dogs ate. I've never been able to use that excuse before, and honestly, I never believed it either. But my dogs ate my cardboard 180° curve. Oh well. Anyway, I haven't deserted the cardboard, but I had a different idea, and it's cheap and more durable.

So, I bought 4 sheets of 1/8" hardboard at Home Depot. It's under $2 for a 2' x 4' sheet.

And I had some 1/2" plywood, actually, I had 20" x 96" of it, but that would cost less than $10, so we'll just call it $10.

And, I bought the cheapest can of Flat Black spray paint I could find. ($2)

That's $20 for materials. I happen to have all the tools I needed.

I drew a plan, and borrowed a lot of ideas from other people. Here's a pic of the 4 sections: (to be continued)
