I used the traditional 2x4 studs for the walls and bought a door kit for abour $50. I then covered the studs with black plastic that I got from a garden store. It is the thick black sheeting people put on the gardens to retain heat in the spring. A large roll of that was about $100 and was just stapled to the studs. I then sealed it around the door and anywhe the plumbing went through with duct tape. It is light tight and very easy to make bigger if I need more space. All in all, it took me about a day to build it and probably less than $200 in materials.
