Starting outdoor enclosures

[jamest0o0]

Started my parson's today. Just doing pvc because it is simple, cheap, and easy to move considering I rent atm. Really underestimated how large this would be lol. It's 90" high, 72" wide, 36" front to back.

Plan was to use this plastic screening, but was thinking, if I use something more animal proof and add some sort of misting system, I could keep him outside over the summer full time. So if anyone has an recommendations for screening that would hold up to raccoons and lots of rain, please let me know!

Once this is done I'll be setting something simple up for the panthers.

The cheapest route I can see it to use both the plastic you already have and some cheap chicken wire over the outside to keep out the critters. The hardware cloth is more expensive and uncoated.

@JacksJill what about the vinyl coated hardware cloth? Although I see it's fairly expensive?

Lot of ways to do this but cheap and easy to move are going to limit your options.

I don't mind spending a little more for quality that will last. But easy to move is definitely a priority, followed by raccoon proof.

Also, points to whoever suggests the simplest option for a door lol. I was thinking of overlapping the screen kind of like a curtain and securing it somehow.
