Poppy’s outdoor enclosure

Minty913 · 09-05-2011, 01:59 PM

After a couple of days and many hours on the internet, I have decided to build poppy an enclosure instead of getting a shed as I can build it to the size I want.
I have built the frame and finished & insulated the floor, my next step is to finish the internal walls plus insulate and clad the outside. I’m hoping to get that done this week if it ever stops raining here.
The overall dimensions are 2.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 so should last her many years.

Floor finished & Insulated, started internal walls and finishing the front supports.

Drew & Poppy I'll post more when im done xx

Great job, sometimes it's as well building your own to suit, it can be easier to heat for African's and less high heat loss. Great helper you have there Minty.

Much more fun when you make stuff yourself.

Nearly there, was hoping to have this done but it has not stopped raining.
today i managed to do the cladding & started to do the frame work for the roof hope to get the rest done this weekend.

I really did not realise how big this was going to turn out lol

Looking great.

You dont realise how much work & time it takes do you? Were still working on ours - seems like every weekend & some nights. Finally approaching last lap - I hope. Tonight I have been landscaping/planting the Margie female garden & its been persisting down!! Seems everytime I set foot out there it starts to rain & doesnt stop!
