Hi guys. I gave 4 piggies now (:(). We’ve just bought a house and we’re moving in about 2 months (new build so not sure on completion date) & plan on getting a new accommodation for them. There is a section of the garden down the side of the house which is already fenced down 2 sides and has the house wall down the other. This will be freshly turfed before we move in. I was going to put the girls’ shed down this section(about 4ft wide & 8ft long) and fence flush with the house (I’ll try to attach a photo) so I could just open the door & let them have run of that area/graze & the dog can’t get down there. My question is, do they need a roof/top over the grass area? (They won’t be out overnight) A) I’m not 100% sure how I’d do that, and b) I don’t want to block too much sunlight as the area will already be shaded as it will have 2 6ft fences on 2 sides and a house wall on the other!

I hope this makes sense. Any accommodation recommendations are welcome!

Thanks!

A roof over the grass area would be a great idea if only to deter predators from above. Birds are not above lifting pets from gardens and even if you were with them the entire time, the chances of being able to stop a bird doing that are slim.
