enclosure: long or tall?

hey all, as mentioned in another thread i have gotten my hands on an old closet that i want to convert. It is 150cm tall, 50cm deep and 110 cm wide.
this will be for my coastal when he grows up.
what i want to know is wether it would be better to leave it standing upright for a tall enclosure or if i should turn it on it's side? this will mean 110 tall and 150 wide.
cheers for any advice you guys have

Much of a muchness really.
1100x1500 or 1500x1100 are both good sized enclosures.
I would go with which ever you personally prefer.

I personally like the look of tall enclosures better,
And put nice big tall branches and all, they look great, will make one, one day lol.
Whatever you decide, post pictures when your finish!
