You might try Garden Texture.  They have some plans and kits in their catalog.

I agree with the Garden Textures advice, I just used the foam portals Aristo sells, the wood looking ones are pretty decent, dont know how well they'd handle outdoors though

If you don't want to build your own, I'd recommend the Bridge-Masters portal.  Here's their website address:

I like the bridge masters but for that price I am better off building my own.  Looking at the bridgemasters I can make something off of their pictures.  Thanks for the link
