Kronk is 10-11 inches (if I am measuring correctly) and our weather is finally getting nice... The outdoor enclosure we are working on for him is roughly 16x24... Is this a big enough area to start with?

yes that is a good size enclosure for your sulcata.
what are you going to use as walls?
My step dad drives a truck and gives us 6x6s on a regular basis. That's what there is around it for now. The far right row is only 4x4s at the moment and he zooms right over them, lol!
How long do you think this will last?

I prefer to go a little bigger, but that size will work.
There is no way to predict how fast your tortoise will grow or how long your enclosure will last.

I think it comes down to quality over quantity. I've seen some large empty enclosures and the tortoises are obviously bored.
If you can make it more interactive with plants, paths and hides; I think that counts much more than just having a huge space. In my opinion anyway.
The deco and landscaping are next in our journey. All we have right now is the boundary line... just trying to make sure we do it right...

You'll want to have the border much much taller. If they can see the other side, they will try to get to it.
