I have mine in an apex run in the garden. I would leave them out 24/7 but I don't trust the local youth not to pinch em so they are brought in at night. They are all under 1 year old. A heathy med tortoise is an incredibly tough, resilient animal. The odd rainy / overcast day is going to do them no harm whatsoever. Frost is another matter altogether but thats hardly likely at this time of year.

Wire mesh is essential for the outdoor enclosure;
1) It stops predators from getting in. Tortoises have been known to be snatched by Birds and malled by dogs and cats. 2) it stops your little tort from getting out! Also for a horsfield it should be sunk a good 1 foot deep because they love to burrow and dig.

If you are looking for an easy option as an indoor tort table then I can recommend indoor rabbit/guinea pig cages. They work brilliantly for mine and you can suspend the lamps from them.
I use the ones with the wire tops, no problem with ventilation
