My husband copied and then adapted the designs of some of our existing pig arks and got the wood place to cut everything to size (apart from the boards for the front and back). I photographed him building one and it's in the Haynes Pig Manual as a step-by-step project. Probably cost less than half of what we paid for the bought-in ones. Good luck!

Thanks for all the advice and links. We've decided to get one of the Golden River arks first so that we can practise the building without having to worry about sourcing all the separate bits of material. Assuming that goes well, the next one will be a home built job, using the ideas from here!

Thanks again!

Hi there,

we got our pig arc from this guy

www.pighuts.co.uk

They are based near aylesbury in the UK

They refurbish old pig huts or you can buy one to do up yourself. We thought it was a good starting point and saved a bit of money.
