    Thats basically what we have for our pigs. Although we run a big rubber flap for winter, but sometimes they just sleep in the snow still. I built mine with a floor thinking like you and even though they don't care i do.

    That's a great house. I like it. My pigs would destroy it however. The girls are a bit rough at times. I really like that idea though. That design could make a good brooder by the looks of it........ I like it!

    So you don't need fancy t post with cattle panels although they are the easiest to pound in. Most of my post are small trees that i debarked. I go every 8 feet and just use wire to attach them to the post. And i just use fencing wire to put the panels together. It holds 300 pound hogs in just fine.
