Default ornate box turtle enclosure-need examples of outdoor set ups

Hello,
I recently helped out a local Reptile rescue by fostering an Ornate box turtle. Of course, I fell in love and she is now MINE.

(I also keep Horsfields. Different!)

I believe her indoor set up is fine; it is in a Waterland land tub inside for now.
They are not native to my area of the US, so I want to make sure her outdoor enclosure accommodates her needs. I have been scanning SW, and see that there are several members who keep Ornates.
Much of the UK climate in general is more similar to the PNW than other parts of the US, so I am on SW to learn more about a climate specific outdoor enclosure.
Here is a link to a video of her in her indoor enclosure; at one point she does have an 'incident' with a log

And an overhead view (strip UV extends lengthwise to a support which has been removed for the pic):

So, does anyone have pics of their outdoor enclosures or other advice?
