Great job.
A small suggestion though. I have three Nigerian Dwarfs and one Pygmy and they love to rub along the fences..... picure shoulder dug in an linebacker strength as they go along the wire. Its a goat thing. The Pygmy is the worst because hes beefier and has a talent for opening the wire up for the rest.
They have destroyed
about six dog kennel panels which are chainlink fastened with heavy wire at the bottom. My next enclosure will have a rub bar about that height made of a two by four or two by eight.... you could even cover it with the same kind of wire so they will get satisfaction on rubbing on it rather than destroying other wire fences. This is about knee height.
Also for play structures I hit up Craigs list and local Baby resale shops for Little tykes play structures. My goats have three One red yellow and blue cube One grey climbing structure and one partial swingset that has a platform. They are cleanable safe and you can move them around to give the grass a rest.
It doesn't show it yet, but there will be 3 2x4 parallel to the ground. One on the ground (to connect the electric to deter diggers), one 2 feet up (for the goats) and one at 4 feet. I am hoping that by doing this, I will have the strength I want, and also be able to add waterers and feeders anywhere I want.
