You can get steel mesh bent in a U shape and nail it to some sort of flooring, either more steel mesh or timber.

A simple way is to bend the mesh into a triangle, clip it together with the rings/staples that are used to fasten mesh to wire fencing and put a piece of artifical grass in the bottom of it for a footing.
If you are using it as a tunnel at ground level you can use scrap timber and just bend the mesh into a V - this way up ^ and staple it to the Timber then tent pegs to hold the timber securely in place. Sometimes on building lost there are left over scraps of timber.

In my post about my cattery I showed mine and described how I made it. One of the earlier posts in this area of the forum. It's pretty easy.
