i mean, the cheapest one you can find is probably 1300 dollars. you can find cheaper models for around 600 but they just dont feel the same.

Really depends what you want to do.  If you want turf that will probably be the exsepsnsive part.  But you could just bum around PVC pipe and wood and naills from junk yards, that what alot of people do, and if your too cheap even for turf, just drive somewhere that there is still snow and bring it back with you.

Turf isn't to bad, so really its not going to run you that ragged.

That is the MOST I would pay for a summer setup ever, if it cost that much I would start cutting back on turf becuase thats a little bit ridiciulious.   Just go to construction sites (I would ask the builders first, or you can just go there at night) and pick up some wood and nails, they probably wouldn't care.

aprox. $30 on wood(good wood for the structure) and a thick PVC for one of my rails.

like 15 on screws and nails.

all the crossing planks were for free at my local lumber yard.

1300 will get you a super kick ass summer set up. on one of the traveling circuses they made a double pvc rail for like $6. But it all depends on how big of a rail/drop in you want.

I don't see how you can even spend 1300 dollers on a summer setup. We made ours for about 100 plus a rail. Its pretty decent but not amazing. I bet if you put 150 to 200 in you could have an insanly nice one. Also depending on your craftsmanship.
