Wait have you guys seen that YouTube doc about the guy who does all his cosplay from thrift stores? It's pretty interesting, there's this whole community of people who do budget cosplay and they get really creative with it. I think it was called something like "Thrift Store Heroes" or whatever. But yeah man, that's the way to do it. Spending hundreds on a costume for one party is just stupid when you can find perfectly good stuff for cheap. Plus it's more fun to hunt for the stuff and figure out how to make it work. You get way more satisfaction from telling people you got it all at Goodwill than from saying you dropped two hundred bucks online.

That pressure treated lumber needs to be rated for ground contact if it's anywhere near dirt or moisture. A lot of guys grab the cheaper above ground stuff and wonder why it rots in 3 years. I'd also check if he used galvanized hangers, those cheap zinc ones turn to dust fast around untreated pine. Might hold up okay if he sealed everything well but sagging in the middle says he probably skipped the midspan supports.
