It's been a while but got the new enclosure sorted not long before the two spurs went in to their hibernation.
It's 12ft by 6ft with the kennel mentioned above. It's been lined with Styrofoam sheets all round top and bottom and a lining of silver bubble wrap that I had lying around.
The floor and and 6" up the side is pond liner for easy wiping out.
At the time, there was one of these Kennels going 2nd hand less than half the price of new and it was only 10 miles from me so I snapped it up! It was pretty much "as new" condition.
Their Arcades D3 bulb is in the kennel and there is a clear plastic flap over the entrance to keep in the heat. This is turned off on warm days. They come and go through this flap just fine. No issue clambering up and down the temporary small brick steps!
It has a hinged door as well to keep closed. There's the wooden and perspex cold frame next to it to give them options.
The wire frame panels are sitting on wooden sleepers.
Can't help thinking I could/should have gone bigger!
