Made a temporary run at my parents for all my other piggies!

The larger side for the 8 girls, and the smaller side for Titch

Great run Kelly.

I have 2 runs made from the grids but have decided to reinforce mine with wooden base and top and attach the grids as I find when on my own and moving them they tend to collapse on me Lol, what I like is that they are nice and light.

Titch looks like he would lover to get in with them girls.

Yeah, the grids are great! I mean, we were only seeing what kind of shapes we could get and the amount of space from them. They are so easy to put together and take apart.

Titch can love to get to the girls all he wants, but he will never get there though! LOL ;D

You can get the grids from Argos. Just checked on the website and they have been reduced from £19.99 to £9.99!!!

Are they easy to store if it rains? I've been thinking about making one?

are these strong enough for you to leave the pigs in all day if you went out?? or would you have to stay with them. it looks like you could put a roof on it

Easy to store - Well we took it all apart again! Doesn't take long to fix up and take apart. I wouldn't say you could leave it out in the rain though.

They are not heavy and are quite strong when put together. You can make a roof to go over it Chelle, but we didn't cos we were outside with them.

Other people can tell you more, cos I've not long had one

Hi Kelly,

I leave mine out all the time through the summer, have had no problems and they don't rust
we have rain, high winds they are grand. No need to pack away everytime

There you go Clare! ;D

We only packed ours away cos my parents have a dog and makes less room in the garden to leave the run as it is. No problem anyway as it's fairly quick and easy to build it up again and take it apart!

Thanx Julianne! Bless him?! He's a little pain! :D

It looks a bit smaller than it is due to me zooming in, but there's loads of room for the 8 girls! So it's possible to make it even smaller and there would still be plenty of room!
