Default Outdoor housing

So I am in the process of building Maggie an outside house whilst we are doing up the garden. We are putting a raised flowerbed made from sleepers all the way down one side of the garden and I was going to make a section just for Maggie while shes little. What can I line it with so that she doesnt dig and escape under next doors fence?

You could use galvanised 1cm mesh from the garden centre and use cable ties on the joins and angles. Some people also use rubble or slabs with small gaps between.
The important thing to remember is to allow for good drainage and thermal flow with the real ground which is why I personally think mesh is the best option.
