Finished putting this together just a little earlier. I used two 4 foot or so kiddie pools. We built two "picture frames" for the door between the two pools. We then smashed the two pools together and bolted the frames together, and cut the plastic out for the door. I punched a ton of little holes on the bottom of the pools for drainage. Lined the bottom with river rock. Put down a layer of to soil. Then layered it again with cypress mulch. I made some hills too which both plants are on. The plants are daylillies. I cut a small planter dish for the water bowl and used the other half as a hide. The big black hide is a big planter. We flipped it upside down carved out an opening. We reinforced the inside lip with a metal bar and used a big hinge so i can open it up and get her out. Its kind of funny too. I had to put up some two by fours and sticks around her water dish because she insisted on trying to climb in and out of it. Pretty funny to watch but i had to block it because i don't want get getting stuck in the water.
I do plan on eventually getting a few more plants in there. And I'll probably make some tweaks a time progresses. Any constructive criticism is appreciated.
I'm also open to any ideas as to how to put wire around this to make it critter proof.
