While it's not something to keep animals in, it is something that animals will play on.
My local community's baseball/softball organization needed an artificial pitcher's mound so they could have a team & play games at our local school's softball field. They couldn't afford to buy a professionally made mound for $1000 so I offered to furnish materials & build them one.
I used pressure treated 1/2" plywood, PT 2 x 6 and PT 1 x 6. I've got less than $125 in material but quite a few hours since it's more or less a prototype. The pitcher's plate had to be 6" above the level of home plate.
It works good, too. I finished it within minutes of their first home game & they won - which was also thery're first win (1 win - 2 losses). Go Eagles!
Have a good one!
