The start of our outdoor enclosures! ** UPDATED **

11-03-2007, 11:40 AM

Hi guys

I've been working on the outdoor enclosures this weekend! A lot of digging later and moving around all the plants that were at the top of the garden ..... we have the two areas that will be the outdoor enclosures for our gang.

They are both 12ft x 6ft and will be 3ft deep - I am digging down and laying mesh on the bottom, I will also be using concrete gravel boards and filling it back up with a mix of the original soil and some nice fresh top soil!

The gravel boards will be in place the last weekend of March 2007 - can't wait!!!!!!

Thats great, they will love it when its finished, because it is slanted an will get the most sun

I like the way you have the steps going up it too.
