It's a great and original idea! But my outdoor enclousure has to be adequate for a terrace in the city, and the inflatable pool is not good for a terrace but a garden. Thanks anyway :)

Cinderblocks. No mortar needed, easy to reconfigure if you expand. Slight gaps are even good for drainage.

You can put planters in front if you don't like the look.

You can use other types of building blocks, but this is probably cheapest. There is a narrower block that is perfectly stable & easier to maneuver as well as cheaper still.

Nice enclousure! My dad was thinking in buying some cheap ikea piece of furniture and turn it into a terrarium. We were also thinking it could have wheels so we could move the terrarium around the living room (not ALL the time just sometimes) as my tort is ver social and is always very fond of being wherever the people are.

That enclosure isn't mine, but I suggest choosing the largest area for your tortoise :)

Wheels are good because you can clean underneath & catch the sun. Mine respond to sunlight through the window even more than the lamp.

The lamp is suposed to imitait sunlight but it's not the same they will usually like sunlight more.
