Thanks for the input.
I wouldn't usually go for plastic but this plastic is durable stuff so should last many years. Easy to clean and no wood to retreat. My old one was almost the same but wooden and the roof rotted after 5 years and it was easily damaged when I dismantled it for the house move.
Got several neighbours cats always in my garden to take care of any mice or rats but it'd be on top of some paving slabs to prevent the torts from digging down. They'll have other places in the enclosure for that.
Am looking at a cold frame to put in also but not to use for their heated hide on days that are too cold for them to be out (but they could come and go as they please.)
Can add a stable ramp for the torts or can even get the legs shortened or removed completely.
Need to get a proper hide sorted for when temps start to drop and they need artificial heat and UV and these houses take a couple of weeks as they're apparently made to order (or shipped from China lol!)
