Fee Deposit Tube Fabrication Drawing

Manufacture and Procurement

The fabrication drawings provide the option of using a local fabricator to construct the fee tube, lowering unit costs. For example, the Boise National Forest uses a local Job Corps Center to fabricate its design. The cost of materials is estimated at $40 per vault. This does not include costs for handling, delivery, and installation. Even after these additional costs are considered, this method is less costly than purchasing most commercially made vaults.

Several commercial manufacturers produce fee vaults and collection equipment. Contact Gary Hoshide, Recreation Program Leader at MTDC, for information on commercially available vaults.
