Just for info, I am attaching two photos of the creep area I have constructed and which has been very successful, and can be moved to wherever you need it. All our farrowing arks have a front and back door, and it is positioned next to the back door where it is easy for us to get access to. The angled struts at one end is so that it will fit in both our curved and triangular arks without hitting the wall. If the sow makes a fuss about it being there we simply screw its floor onto the floor below. In the first photo the heat lamp is in the wrong place - later it was positioned on the tightened chain between the top and side beam right over the creep area. The dimensions of the 18 mm ply floor are 610 x 800 mm, and the height of the gap for the piglets to get into is 240 mm. Obviously this is only for very small piglets, up to about 10 days, but those are the days they are most likely to need protection from squashing and really appreciate the warmth. All the best - Tamsaddle
