Hi! I'm planning out a temporary outdoor house for my almost 7 inch tortoise. Would this work? Some notes on the rough blueprint: the first picture is a roughly to scale side picture of the planned enclosure, while the second picture is a 3-D map of sorts. The chicken wire in the lower picture continues all around but is not drawn for convenience's sake. About the chicken wire, will we need a 5 foot by 5 foot at least square of chicken wire, or can there be overlapping sections? You'll notice also in the second picture there's a wooden section of the roof-- is this possible to add to a rigid plastic kiddie pool? I'm not that experienced in building projects so any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, I was wondering how tall a $8 hosta plant is generally? Finally, any tips on making this look nicer (maybe ideas on how to build a frame/lid for the chicken wire so we don't just have to tuck it under bricks?) Thanks so much!
PS
I'll be careful to keep her in on cold days and hot (below 60 degrees or above 90 or so) and at night. She has a relatively small (current) enclosure inside with a heat/UV light that I can use for night or extreme temperatures.
