You can make a nice sized area....lay some type of chicken wire (the heavier one) under the surface of the ground.....just kinda like what you do for dogs, along fence lines, so they can't dig out. The grass will grow like normal and if the enclosures are enclosed with and area or two for shelters, like dog houses(heated of course), they will be fine. You can even put a small pond in there.[/quote]

No because they are "enclosures" not open pens. I had already thought of that when I suggested the enclosures and not open pens.[/quote]
************************************
Inclosure \In*clo"sure\ (?; 135), n. [See Inclose, Enclosure.]
[Written also enclosure.]
1. The act of inclosing; the state of being inclosed, shut up, or encompassed; the separation of land from common ground by a fence.
2. That which is inclosed or placed within something; a thing contained; a space inclosed or fenced up.
Within the inclosure there was a great store of houses. --Hakluyt.
3. That which incloses; a barrier or fence.
Therefore 'enclosure does not necessarily mean roofed over !!!
