My boyfriend and his dad are going to make the enclosure now! But I have a few questions, like for the base is just having mesh on the bottom enough if I'm covering it with soil or will it be dangerous? I think we will make it pretty much along the lines of the picture I showed originally but I'm just thinking of alterations now! Any hints and tips welcome!

Hi there

The mesh is usually laid in a trench and then covered over with soil back to surface level if you are building the emclosure directly onto the ground. If its a small enclosure, I usually use a wooden base rather than wire mesh.

its about 6 foot so maybe i should use the mesh?
