A couple of things to keep in mind. Russian tortoises are good climbers, so think about capping the tops of the enclosure. Russian tortoises are good diggers, so something along the edge of the fence, or buried along the fenceline is a very good idea.

I have more than one and this is what I built for them, It is all vinyl except the cap which is aluminum.Maybe you can get an idea that will work for you from it.

Thanks Len that helps, I was thinking I could buy thick plastic garden walls they are about one foot tall and individual pieces are about six feet long so I think that I could bury a row of cinder blocks under the garden walls. I will post some pics when it is done :)
