That's great. I need that to keep all the critters out and get some shade to boot. Who did you get to do it? I want one.

Thanks! My husband and I did it. That's why it took so long. I laid those blocks 2 1/2 years ago by myself but needed help with a lot of the other stuff.
It's 50' X 25' and 8' tall.
For the shade we have that western wall and then I can add shade cloth to the top as I need it. In the photo, I have an 8 foot wide swath of 70% cloth across the western end and have the finished cloth to add another 8 foot more. It's great for my herbs and berries that don't like the full summer sun.
Here's a picture of the inside.

Love it!

I'm jealous!

I like it a lot too! With that kind of protection, I might even throw in a chicken coop and have some chickens.

The only thing that has gotten in there is a gopher snake and that was before it was finished around the door. So, I made it go up and over the blocks to see if it could get through the 1" chicken wire. It did it easily. So now, we are putting up hardware cloth that is 4' tall and has 1/4" openings. I hope to heck that does it :)
As for the chickens, we have a coop with an enclosed outside area. That was last years project since hawks got a couple of chickens. Of course they couldn't get the mean roosters.
I think I will let a couple of the girls in there once in a while though.
