Title: Cheap Pig Arks
Post by: Templelands on July 25, 2016, 10:16:24 pm
We have three large pig arks for sale. Pictures attached.

One needs a floor repair the others are in great condition. Good floors fairly new.

We will take £100 each for the good ones and £50 for the floor repair.

Call Andy on 07515551953

do they have a door at the back? what sort of dimensions are they? (sorry, don't do pigs but wondering if could be converted to hen house)

What Lord Flynn said, re hen use - does it have a door or would fitting a door to the front be feasible to close it off at night?  Or is it tall enough I could use it as a garden shed and use the shed for chooks if not?

Any chance of delivery, either OP or offers of anyone coming north Fife-wards at some point?  Subject to the above obviously!

the commonest size would be 8x8' floor area and 4' high. these look a little shorter front to back

I'll get them measured later when back in the UK.

Would not do as a shed they are not tall.

You could use them as a chicken house as the entrance at the front can have a sliding door built in. You could use a timer to open and lower.

Measurements to follow.
