Steps in Building a DIY Pig Pen
While DIY pig pens come in a few different shapes and sizes, there are a few critical steps involved in building a basic, sturdy pig pen.
- The first step is to select or create your design. Take note of the measurements, all necessary tools and materials, and the quantity of materials needed.
- The second step is to acquire all the tools and materials needed for the project.
- Dig the holes to sink your metal posts into the ground. Position the posts inside the holes and fill the space with dirt, gravel, or cement.
- Connect the hog panels to the posts to create an enclosed space.
- Once you are ready to begin the construction of the shelter, measure (twice!) and cut the plywood, insulation, and wire mesh pieces needed for the building.
- Assemble the wall panels and attach them to the metal posts.
- Once the sides are erected, it is time to add the roof. For a quick and easy installation, follow the Ondura Premium Installation Guide.
- Finally, celebrate the completion of your DIY pig pen with a grand-opening ceremony. Invite your pigs to your shelter and allow them to enjoy their new home for wallowing, play, feeding, watering, and protection from the elements!
