I believe it is 48" at the base. And I also am on a budget. I really would love to use aluminum but it is over twice the cost. Regardless I will buy a bigger motor so that is not an issue. I just didn't know if 2x2 cedar and 1/2" plywood would be too heavy. I think as long as it doesn't add more...
