The Burrowing Basement fits under the entire house. To fit, remove the house floor, locate the tortoise house on the Burrowing Basement and fill with topsoil, 145mm deep. To ensure the Burrowing Basement is 'fit for purpose', we have constructed in to the same specification as a raised garden bed. To thwart the tortoise burrowing and rodents digging in we have incorporated a wire mesh base. The Ramp is included.

Please Note:

The timbers used are pressure treated prior to building so well protected against rot. However, we strongly recommend that your housing is treated at least once yearly with our water repellent, animal safe, timber treating overcoat. This forms an invisible, water repellent layer over the house, so lessening the moisture uptake that in time could promote timber decay.
