Actually, you did say "8x8 pressure treated pine." So, teak wouldn't apply.
For what it's worth an 8x8x8' PT .40 CCA costs about $55. Since that's 7.25in x 7.25in x 96in we have 5,046 cu in. A stand 48"x 48" x 16" would be 36,864 cu in. 36,864/5,046 would be a little less than 8 timbers. That's 8*55 = $440. So, yes it would be possible to build at least two stands like that with $1200.
PT lumber is not the way to go for stand building though. As it dries it can shrink and warp and it doesn't usually remain square and level and plumb...maybe one, but not all three.
Anyhow, why not just drop all the arguing before someone closes the thread?
