Hi everybody,
I've just been given a 2500 litre oil tank like this one, that I'd like to turn into a pig ark:
This will only be for two, maybe three traditional breed weaners, taken on to pork weight over the summer months.
The tank itself is roughly 4ft x 7ft, so I was thinking of cutting it in half to make a couple of small
pig arks like this one:
My worry is, half the tank will only be 2ft tall, which doesn't feel like enough for fully grown porkers. Do you think I'll need to put a wooden 'skirt' on the bottom to give it more height perhaps, and if so, what size should I make the door opening?
Also, the ark will be sited on well drained level ground. Do you think a cut down stable mat will be ok to use as a floor?
Thanks folks!
