Made a stsrt on an outdoor cage today,making use of a bit of space behind shed and using leftovers to build it,havnt decided what to put in there yet,possibly blotchies but keeping options open there

Your neighbour needs to mow.

Stupid neighbours have a water tank there and have put tin accross fence on there side so grows between fence and tin,they even complained to council that our grass is higher than fence level ,we had to show council why,lol

I just hit it with whipper snipper,bout all i can do,perhaps poison it,not much stops that grass from growing though

Going to be a low cage with screen lid so i can access that grass,sux not living on 2 . 5 acres now,lol

Your neighbour needs to mow.

He might as well just mow the fence and use the lawn instead.

Main frame and walls up,time to wire the floor,then make a double screen lid

Wire floor down,only doing so because tin doesnt go far into ground,will cover in dirt

Back wall is so square ive had to cut sections out to fill gaps,lol

A quick coat over the metal with a some cheap green acrylic paint wouldn't hurt either.

I think you touched on one of the most important points soil contact.

[Richard.C]

Probablu a good idea but it will be covered and probably pull apart and make something more sturdy in a year or 2

Might experiment with stumpies in this one,still not decided
