Hey I'm looking to build a new large indoor enclosure for my Redfoots soon. I plan on making an insulated box with about 60 square feet of walking space for my 2 Redfoots. I have seen people's plans to seal in the moisture--and keep the wood from being attacked by the moisture--with everything from specialized paint, to 2-part hardware epoxy, to fiberglass cloth and resin, to a roll-on epoxy pond liner such as pond armor.
The cost isn't a huge issue to me, I just want to know what has worked best for people. What can my Redfoots claw at without scraping up? What can I take a shovel to when changing out the mulch, without tearing chunks out of it? For longevity's sake, I've more or less narrowed it down to the fiberglass cloth and resin, like you'd do to waterproof a wooden boat, or the pond epoxy such as Pond Armor/Pond Shield. I owe need to do about 200 square feet of coverage, including the walls.
I know from experience that fiberglass is somewhat difficult to work with, and definitely messy. I don't really have any experience with a roll-on epoxy liner. Any advice or your experiences with either would be great. Thanks!
