Nice! I like your comment about the 8 ft height and how you didn't want to restrict the growth of plants. Lol Hindsight is 20/20. Did you chicken wire the top as well? And what kind of wire. Size and type, that is.No carpentry skills needed. On page 3 of this thread, you can see we basically dug some holes for the posts, and then screwed the cross beams together. I also included the sizes of the lumber I bought, which have held up great in the past few winters.
Weeding has still been necessary as seeds travel on the wind or via birds, and some of those plants aren't good for tortoises, so I like to play it safe and remove them. I use The Tortoise Table to research plants: http://thetortoisetable.org.uk
It would definitely be hilarious to have one Aldabra tort visit and just take down all the excess plants. Stevie is just too small, but at least he won't run out of food!
