First time builder

[ScottTree]

Hey everyone as the title suggests im a first time enclosure builder and I was wondering if someone could give a list of exactly what I will need, including the best brands and pricing for everything. I have a rough idea of what I need but I complete list from someone whos done this before would be amazing.

Thanks in advance, Scott.

Hi Scott, are you planning on doing a melamine enclosure? If so what size (roughly). That will give us a chance to help.

I was tossing up between melamine or stained wood, is there much difference?

And I was thinking roughly 1800mm×L, 600mm×H, 600mm× W.

Check out the diy section, also if you go to the forum page there will be a section down the bottom called noteworthy threads and there is a detailed step by step description on how to build a melamine enclosure from scratch and its got pictures too. Good luck with your enclosure mate

just seen your second post, I'd go with melamine as I think it might be more water resistant than stained wood. Just make sure you seal it with silicone or something similar thats non toxic.
