I recently caught a tiny orb weaver of some sort. It is far too small to even take a picture of right now but I am wondering what size enclosure is good for an adult? If it needs a lot of vertical room could a sterilite that has been turned on the end work?

you could nail a branch(grapewood, or something)up in a corner of a room with some silk plants on it and let it do it's thing there. If you feed, and water it, it should stay put. I personally just put them outside around the house. I love seeing them late at night doing their thing to the local bug population.

depending on the species, I'd say anywhere from 3'-6' if you want them to have the full potential of thier creative constructiveness.

although I have an adult female (recently laid eggs) I'm keeping her in a small kritter keeper just for a while. she seems to be doing fine it it. I just threw a beetle in there a little while ago, she's wrapping it up now.
