And I would like to see you build something like that. When you say you have "hot" summers, just what temp are we talking about?
Well not Africa hot, Around here 70's and 80's. around Fairbanks it gets well into the 90's. And the temps don't drop much at night in mid summer since it is'nt dark long if at all.
I think that enclosure is indoors with a door to an outside yard. I'm actually a general contractor and have worked on similar type fake stone work at the zoo. It's a lot of fun designing the layout. You use 1/4"rebar and bend and weld it to the rough shape of the rock and cover it with fabric and call in the pumper truck with the shot crete. Blast it on have some one with some artistic talent (not me) sculpt it, dab it with a big sponge or brush, through on some dyes and your done.
It takes time but I plan on doing it a lot and sculpting some rainforest trees for the Impressa enclosure.
I was hoping to get started this summer. We'll see how it goes.
