Pig pens - blockwork
« on: June 29, 2011, 03:09:36 pm »
Hi all

Those of you who have their pens made from blocks, how many courses high are the walls? So far we have built four courses but are wondering should we go another one? We must do it now as we couldn't when we already have the pigs.

For anyone that is confused, we have built two pig houses side by side with an out door area connected, with a stone floor and block walls.
