I'll work on a supply list and instructions!
Edit: I'll list all my supplies with links to where I bought them as well as price
16 mm all weather tarp $30,
2x Midwest pet Exercise pens $27 each,
5x Bag Cypress mulch (no additives) $2.25 each,
Safety First Humidifier $26,
Oil filled radiator I couldn't find the specific one I bought but it was $40 at Lowes.
Those are all the supplies for the basic set-up (most of it I just had laying around). The ramp and hide on the left I built for a previous enclosure with ply wood from the Habitat home store Link. The table on the right side with my plants on it is just ply wood on top of a few cinder blocks to create a combo hide and plant storage table. There are a few lights both for the plants and to create basking for the torts around the edge as well (I put them in after I took the pictures)
To make the actual body of the thing I folded the tarp in half-ish (it was too small to do a full half fold and still have extra for the sides) and the long side up against the back wall of the room so that the tarp actually goes up the wall about 8in. I then used duct tape to tape the folds in the corners like an inside out wrapped gift. I then put the fencing against the wall inside the tarp (2 of the fence panels overlap). Once all the fencing was in place I used rope through the eyelets in the tarp to secure the lip on the front since it didn't have a wall to hold it up.
Basically it is a rectangle of fencing with a tarp gift wrapped around the bottom. The tarp protects my floor and hold in the cypress bedding.
