Arenas

The walls are actually only 60mm high but are just in the corners as the drop off sides were longer than filled in sides. The basic arena is now complete except for the polycarb which still hasn't arrived and a paint job. I have now fitted drop down flaps over the two drop off ditches. In the up position they extend the arena to be fully enclosed with full height walls all round. When dropped by pulling a small handle it reverts 50% drop off.

The arena is now finished but still no sign of the polycarb. Here are a couple of shots showing the flaps up and down. The polycarb if it ever comes will be tight up behind the four striped walls. You can just see the pull leaver in the centre of the front wall.

Not quite they are about 85mm with flaps in place but down or with the flaps and hinge panels removed (four screws) they are 92mm. Depth is 98mm.
