I've got weeds sprouting everywhere, but I'm still sunning all my baby torts in their kiddie pools that I use in summer. I wanted to be able to confine them, so I don't lose them, but still let them graze naturally while they sun. I saw this at the CTTC meeting this last year, and thought I would share.
Start with four boards any size big enough to contain YOUR tort and 8 screws.
I like to pre-drill and countersink my screw holes and them start the screws, like this:
Then screw the ends of the boards together.
Here it is all screwed together.
Next find a flat weedy spot in the sun. Make sure there are no crevices along the bottom. Fill in with dirt along the outside if needed.
Lastly add torts. Move the pen to a fresh weedy patch as needed.
