    Need working facility

    Since you're on a budget, get old electric poles or railroad ties. They're cheap/free and are stout. Go to the sawmill and get some oak 2x8's at the smallest and build it tall, like Kenny said. You can still use your panels, just put a 2x about waist high to stiffen them up. Use timber...

    The not so fun part...

    I see train wreck coming

    Me too. I've gotten used to it. I'm assuming you don't mean the iced sweet that everyone from where I live to all points south and east thrive on? Tea making is a full time job at my house.
