Closest long-layout buyer check
Frame-only snapshot checked August 10, 2026; tax, delivery, soil, and accessories excluded.
We selected the closest long, narrow layout in each current direct-sale kit. Nominal area = length × width. Nominal capacity = area × listed wall height ÷ 12. Cost metrics use the lowest selectable direct price visible on the checked date. These are arithmetic normalizations, not physical inside-dimension measurements.
