More updated BT enclosure....

neilgolli Nov 12, 2004 12:56 PM

First one here is the top lid open, it opens in a total of 4 sections and each side has completely removable doors for access for cleaning.

PS, is there a way to get old picturs out off of this server so that my drop down list is not so long????

I've got 900lbs in the back of my truck now and thinking that I'll need atleast another 900 but figured I'd rather have less and go and get more than have to take so back..... Deapth of dirt will be 26inches on the high side and 16 on low (doors on each side corespond to height of dirt, water will be on the low side with larger opening for easy access)

Comments and suggestions welcome....

Looks like you have sliding doors. If they are, how are you going to retain the dirt to keep it off the doors?

Actually the front glass is not sliding, it is one solid sheet of 3/8ths tempered glass, so no worries about the dirt getting out. all access is from the sides of the enclosure for cleaning.

Also, I got the 900lbs of dirt in last night, sore back this morning.... I mixed it with 100lbs of sand to help hold any burrows he decids to dig. I will need atleast another 600lbs, so I'm going out today and just going for 750 and then off to the ciropractor....

Looks great, but you're not actually planning on servicing it from the top are you?

No I do not plan on servicing the enclosure itself from the top. Its mainly for feeding and simple access to the lights and heating elements. It was just as easy to build it with them so I figured toss them in....
