[sandrachx]

I wouldn't go any smaller than 4x6,

Other demensions, could be 6x6, 4x8 or 6x8. The 4x8 work out well, if you are leaving them in there for a few days, plus it is a good size to be working with plywood.

If you are leaving them in there more than a few days, I would go more with a 6x8.

We cut ours to 36inches high, and put blocks on the inside and outside to just climb over, so we don't have to keep opening the end up.
