It's around 32 inches high above ground with 4 inches space for worm filled topsoil and underground hides, 6 1/2 feet long, and 47 inches wide. :D
Updates soon! :D

What will you use as a base? I would love to set up an outdoor enclosure, but not only am I worried about the unpredictable British weather but my snakeys are hard enough to contain inside, never mind out in the garden, where they could dig their way out. :D

Really, all I have to do is wait for the grass around the enclosure to grow back, which reinforce the bottom as well. :P
