The "airlock" is an entrance-way with a door at each end,
which reduces the possibility of escape.

The sides of the main structure are made of welded wire mesh,
with a 2"x4" mesh size. A smaller mesh would be safer
for small cats and kittens. The bottom of the fence is bent outward and buried,
to prevent animals from digging under.

The fence which makes up the sides is topped by corrogated black plastic
pipe. The pipe is split longitudinally, along one side, and slipped over
the top of the fence. This is to discourage wild animals from climbing.
The top of the structure is closed by a tent of "garden netting".

Wooden shelves provide a resting place off the dirt floor. The shelves
are supported by cedar posts planted directly in the dirt.
