My new enclosures

[jobeanator]

It's been forever since I've posted on here so I thought I'd share what I'm doing now.I've decided to finally build new enclosures for some of my tortoises and thought I'd share steps of the way to building. The pictures are just my beginning so far but the enclosures will be 8'x24' and each enclosure will be divided into 8'x8' each.

Looks good so far, how big are your tortoises?

Depending on size I would worry about them trying to climb out and flipping over. Also, the tops depending on size be covered with something to keep predators out.

I plan on stacking the timber 4-5 timbers high which should be around a foot or more high. I plan on putting some juvenile stars and some species of Greeks in another.

Don't forget to cap the corners.

Well here's what I've done with the enclosures so far. I've built each enclosure to be 8'x8' and stacked 4 timbers to be around a foot or so in height. I used 3 1/4" lag bolts to keep them together. Here's some pics of what is done.
