CLoche / greenhouse / cold frame

ben_e71 · 10-06-2012, 11:42 AM

Was thinking I needed to add something to the setup I posted about recently

and was thinking of some sort of PVC enclosure to enable them to make use of the sun on windier days ....

Should I look to replace roof of house with PVC? Or put a small greenhouse over the door to house with door at other end to escape into enclosure or setup a separate one inside the enclosure....

Where are people getting good ones from as I've done a search locally and can find nothing?

How about a weed area, some tortoise friendly plants to shelter under and some hills and mounds to add some gradients?

when we had a smaller run we used to simply place a piece of perspex over 1/4 or 1/2 of the roof/lid, that area would soon warm up and the perspex could be removed should the weather be nice, a weight held it in place.
