I plan on making some compost bins today, but of course I have to over think things before I do things.
I've seen round and square bins from hardware cloth. What are the advantages of one over the other? I thought about maybe buying a hulahoop and using it as a frame for a lid, but I doubt that will hold up in UV. Do compost bins even need a lid? My composter up until now was just a large green trash bin that almost never got agitated. The bottom would be black and potent, while the top was dry.
Here are some examples of compost bins I have been considering.

I could buy rebar, but I am trying not to spend needlessly. Same goes for tracking down 55 gallon drums. I have at least 3 large trash cans worth of leaves to compost and don't have space for an army of bitch sized compost bins. I'd rather have a few large ones and call it a day.
10' of hardware cloth costs about $15 in bulk. While it's not the most expensive material, I'd like to have everything planned out before I burn through $50 in materials for 3 bins.
