A lot of Outdoor Rhino enclosure consist of chain link type constrcution, instead of chainlink or in addition to chain link welded wire is used. Most of the time buried a few feet under ground as well as a layer under the desired substrate thickness, Rhino's can dig very large burrows, to prevent dig outs. The ceiling mearly has tokeep them from climbing out an predators from flying in.
I sugest posting this on the Iguana forum as well as a number of those folks have some pretty cool pics that will be very helpful.
Good Luck
