Enclosure border

[juli11]

Hi, I'm looking for a new border for my outdoor enclosure. Last year I had normal palisade which was 30cm high. This was to low for my spekii group and they run away and I found them anywhere in the neighborhood. So which border can I use which is minimum 50cm high?
Maybe you can share some pics of your borders!

A lot of members use cinder blocks or bricks.

I used decorative blocks (here they call them retaining wall blocks) and put a cap on top that overhangs into and out of the enclosure (wider than the block). The decorative blocks are glued together with a special glue designed for block and masonry work. Putting a cap that overhangs inside will help keep them from climbing out. The walls that are taller are made from cinderblock, and stucco over them.

I use plywood cut into 16 " strips .

Not sure if you can see it very well in this picture but I have wood around my enclosure. You can cut them into any size you want.

Thanks for your pics. So I think the woods which you can cut like you want is the best idea for me. Because my mom don't want that I use brick rocks in our garden. And the the high fence isn't the right enclosure for some small kinixys and indotestudos ;-). I need 8m barrier for my enclosure. How much do you need? And how much wood pieces do you need? And can you give me a price ca?

It's not done yet but I used 2x8x16 wood boards..my russian tort is small enough to not be able to climb out (but I am gonna put chicken wire that's wood framed to make it higher..so in case your breed is bigger that option is available too) Anyways I basically got the plain wood from lowes and water sealed it and it seems to work great! I have attached a picture below, Goodluck with your enclosure!
