I'm planning to build an indoor enclosure for my rads, has to be big enough when they are adults, so I'm going to try to make it as big as possible, I'm thinking around 10' x 5', laid on the floor.

I want to know what you are using, pictures are appreciated.

Here's what I have for my indoor enclosure. Luckily I live in San Diego so he gets plenty of outdoor time. This is only for nights and cold days. My radiated is only 3 1/2" right now so this should get me throught the next couple of years. The enclosure has sliding glass front and is vented, although you can't see the vents in picture. The heat emitter is on a thermostat. They're pretty easy to put build. All it takes is a sheet of melamine, glass door tracks, and some vents. I built one for my Leopard baby as well.

You want it as large as possible, although 50sqft is fine for one full size adult...
