This raised bed set up is awesome for the price, especially if you don't have the tools or skills to build with wood.
I wish I could get these in 4x8 size or some bracket kit to make it that size but I will have to build my next two enclosures for my Russians. That will be quite a chore with my lack of experience. Lol

I saw some that were actually 4 x 8 but I do not remember where. Try Home Depot? I do not think they came with the cover but they sell that seperately (for $49.99) and you could just buy an extra one. There are also bracket kits on their web site to make your own out of wood. I think the ones I saw were $39.99 a set. Im thinking hinges would work and not be nearly as costly.

So glad I saw this post, I was just about to have someone help me build a bigger indoor enclosure and had no idea where to start. This is such a awesome enclosure! Thanks for sharing this ^_^

I wonder if you could set up two side by side somehow and bore a hole to have a 4x8 enclosure? I guess it's kinda hard with how they are built.

Yeah that would probably be pretty challenging but a bridge walls so the tort could take a right turn off the bridge and walk down the path that the two side would create together and escape LOL. This gives me an idea for the future, thank you!

There's a magazine called The Gardener or something like that and I'm preeetyyyyy sure they sell kits for raised beds (what this is intended for) that are made out of this same plastic siding. Not sure about a top though but that would be fairly easy to accomplish with PVC pipe and plastic covering.

How did you fix the bulbs up there? Are they stable enough (I'm just curious :) )

We got ours yesterday! Installed the shower curtain today. It was such a ***** to snap together, but we did it! Humphrey won't be moved into this enclosure until mid-August (we are going away and he is being taken care of by a co-worker in his current Zoomed Tortoise Table).
My husband was very proud of himself.

All of them are artificial but I am going to be experimenting with some live plants soon. :)

Spider worts are nice :), melon grow easily for me... Purslane likes our desert heat, petunias I'm not sure (they are sold everywhere here, most die in summer then grow in winter)... Good luck!
