Three tarps are the real price. Tarps cannot be crafted, they come from road barrels, crates and trades, and the same ones go into a hazmat suit, which asks for only one more. Ignore the unfolded calculator that turns them into cloth at a Level 2 bench: that is their value, not a craft you can queue.
Everything else is easy. Every player knows the blueprint from the start, a Level 1 workbench is enough, and the wood and metal fragments are one farming run. So the only question is when. Build it once the suits and the planters are covered and spare tarps start piling up in a box.
Don't place it just to try it with a plan to recycle it later: the ordinary recycler gives back only part of the tarps. And if three tarps feel like too much for the fun, the paddling pool takes fewer and needs no bench at all.
