Hi

 This may not be of any use to you at all, but we are in East Norfolk and hubby has just made 2 great arks out of outdoor ply & a few bits of 3 x 2...  Not curved but in a tall triangle... Works really well.
Sheep: North Ronaldsay & 4 Horned Hebridean - We also breed & exhibit 3 breeds of rabbit - Chinchilla, Deilenaar (rare breed) & Colour Pointed English Angora.

On a historic post here, someone mentioned that the old fashioned plastic non-bunded oil tanks make good pig arks which is a brilliant idea - the non-bunded ones are not allowed now so you should be able to pick up one somewhere.  We have one here but we're too far away (scottish borders).
