Hey everyone,
I'm seeking some awesome new plans/layouts for a new wooden hutch I want to have built within the next couple of months. The picture is of what I’m working with now, however I want bigger space and one easier to clean! I have 2 pairs of sows and 1 pair of boars so it would need to be split into 3 separate areas (I was thinking 3 floors and long).
 
First observation I see is that it would be much easier to clean if it had wheels on & could be pulled out of the area it's in.
 
That's very true, you don't want to see how exhausting and timly it is to clean this thing! It is just suppose to be a quick fix until i get a professional to build one. Becaus ethe one i had before was way too small.
 
Think on the lines of multi-storey piggy trolley
 
I would recommend something like what I have however I knew somebody who could make it for me. It's based around C&C grids but solidified with wood.

That's pretty much exactly what i need! Only i'd have to use only wood because we don't have C&C grids available here and the closes material we have to it is very expensive. Thank you, i found a nice contactor who's willing to build me a new one, i'll use your photo as guidance!
 
If you have access to chicken wire or other small wire mesh thats fine for indoor housing, its just not fox proof a wooden frame with mesh sides is simple enough to build :-)

Well i found a contractor to build me a hutch like the one in the picture. It's going to have 2 double floors and run about 70 inches in lengh! This is going to be the perfect indoor home for my pigs! It will run me around $500 Cayman dollars though which is $595.24 US...but everything is more expensive in Cayman! What do you guys think? I know it is an outdoor hutch but i like it.
 
It's very nice, I'm building my own hutch next week, the wood is going to cost me £100, I'll be posting pictures once it's finished. ;)
