We actually just built ours last night, we are getting married in Florida so we're having relatives drive it down. My wc was willing to let us have it shipped to them if we needed to and then build it there. For the bamboo and shipping it cost us about $95 total. I bought the fabric from Hobby Lobby for about $60. Doing it ourselves saved us about $200. Being in the Bahamas may be more difficult though.
