Do you have plans for the enclosure? Most of all I would like to know what kind of branches that you used and what are the panels in the door made of? Thank you for your time!

We gathered the vines, moss and rocks from the woods surrounding our farm. Of course any time you bring something inside from out you need to spray it down, bleach it heavily, rinse it really well and let it dry good before installing it in something like this. The other option (like for moss) is to leave it in below freezing temperatures for 48 hours (the freezer if it isn't winter outside).
We made the doors from plexiglass, but after replacing the left panel for the third time because our Great Danes, being oblivious to common curtousy, smashed into it with enough force to split the plexiglass from bottom left corner to top right corner, we finally decided to use the heavy duty glass from some left over old windows to create a new front.
If you don't have giant clumsy dogs the plexiglass worked well in every other way!
We used base board trim to frame the outside of the door and screwed through to a corrisponding 1/4" flat trim piece. But for real glass it is a bit harder. You have to create niches for the edges to fit snuggly into and then carefully assemble the frame around the glass.
