I wish it was finished lol. Working quite alot now so may not get to much done. It is 4ft high by 9ft wide by 3.5 feet deep.

That is a nice sized enclosure. I did mine 8x4x4 because it makes the plywood cutting minimal. And when you can only use a saw for 1 day you need to get it all done at once.

So do you have Savannah now or are you building the enclosure and buying a baby to grow up in it once it is all set up.

That is the right way to do it. Once you get your sav make sure to upload pictures. I can't wait to see the finished enclosure.

If you know someone in the demolition trade, you can get all sorts of stuff for free.

it was too late, but I know a guy who just smashed a huge pile of sliding glass doors just to cash in on the scrap aluminum frames.
