Here at little blairshinnoch we produce a range of livestock housing/dog kennels .All of our products are made from recyled potatoe boxes and last for absolutely ages , sizes range from  6ft x 4ft for our standard  kune kennel to 6ft x 8 ft for our largest pig ark !They are light enough to be moved by 2 people and afford excellent value for money whilst doing a bit for saving natural resources. All come with a hinged roof which enables easy cleaning and allows an excellent air through flow when the weather is being warm.

Hi, Bidgiemire here, yes we stopped making arks as a business as we moved onto other things, however we still make them to past customers and people who contact us from word of mouth. If you haven't got sorted, ring me on 07872899527 and we will try and get something sorted for you.

If you're in Aberdeenshire then try the Saturday Sales at Thainstone, Inverurie (http://www.anmgroup.co.uk/tsa/saturday-sales.php) for 2nd hand oil/water tanks or wood. You can often get a bargain (unless you get a couple of people bidding the price up...)
