Livestock Arks

Pig Ark - Medium

Our Medium Pig Ark has been designed specificaly for small breeds or for taking a pair of conventional breed weanersto pork weight.

While this ark is modest in size, it is built to last. The front, back, and the solid floor are all made from 12mm thick panels, so the ark is immensely strong. It needs no maintenance whatsoever, and because it won't rot or rust, it should last over 20 years. Although not shown in the pictures, this ark is supplied with a door, primarily for people who will use this ark to house other livestock such as geese.

Assembly is extremely simple - it can be completed in less than ten minutes and dis-assembled even more quickly. Hand holes are provided, and, while two people can lift one of these arks (they actually weigh 74kg), an eye is provided at each end of the roof bar for a rope, should you wish to move the ark with a loader tractor.

The ark can be supplied with either Linch pins or D-shackles as fixings. Linch pins are quick and easy to fit, but are not 'pig-proof'. D-shackles can be screwed tight. If your pigs are likely to 'play' with the fixings, we recommend you consider the D-shackle option. There is no difference in pricing. If you change your mind later (or your pigs change it for you) both fixings are readily available from us or your local agricultural suppliers.

If you opt for Linch pins, the central roof panel can be easily removed, so adding fresh bedding and cleaning is a breeze. We don't know of any other arks offering this feature.
