It starts by cutting a r panel in half . Then I cut 6 -4/4 post at 28 inches . Installed post in the ground . Screwed the metal to the post. Then built the other wall . Put in some PVC pipe for hides and a water bowl. I cut the enclosure in half with a big log for a sight barrier . These guys are trying to escape like crazy . They can't !That's what's awesome about using metal. They can't grip it like they can wood or stone . It took me about three hours to build this . At a cost of 4 dollars . I took all my scrap metal to the recycling place . They paid me 30 bucks . I used that money to by 2 4/4 post and 5 1/6 boards . I was 4 dollars shy so I had to break the ole pocket and add 4 more bucks for a total of 34 bucks . It helps to have a pile of metal . All this r panel is reused material off an old car port . So it's cheap to build with and goes up fast . The best part it doesn't fall apart in a few years . All my enclosures are behind my mother's mobile home . We had to move her on our property after Hurricane Ike .Her house got all smashed up . Makes for the perfect chill spot from my parents.
