Newbie needs help with sulcata enclosure (outdoor)

[PennyM]

Hey y'all! My husband is currently in the process if building our 3 year old sully an outdoor enclosure. It will be 6ftx12ft and sort of a modified dog kennel (to keep predators out). Suggestions on water bowls? I've seen paint roller trays, and I may do that. Hubby wants to make a concrete one, and just make a roof for it, to reduce algae growth.
Also, any suggestions for hideouts/homes? We were thinking of maybe doing something with cinder blocks?
If anyone has pictures, we'd greatly appreciate them- oh and just an FYI, we're in south Louisiana.

Tera cotta plant saucers work really well. I have seen a few people use those rubbermaid outside storage chest as hides.
