(Actually not that new but new enough for me to fill find it exciting stuff)

My dad did it for me, he insulated the walls & door with polystyrene then boarded it up. Unfortunately because of the fact i needed hutches & storage there wasn't the room to insulate the roof, but we will be putting some thing temp up in the winter.

The hutches are 6 ft by 2ft & 2 inches ... there's just enough room for me to get in to clean as we wanted the piggies to have as much room as possible.

The doors all fold down (except the bedroom doors as they are short enough) and the two fixed panels of mesh either end of the open area are for water bottles. I missed out a ton of in progress pics, so lets got to the finished thing ,...

Tada!

Love it, and the shyer piggies have really come out of their shells since being in there. Plus it's lovely and cool in the sun and warm in the chilly weather. :)

Hope you like!
 
Is your dad like a carpenter or something? Those hutches look really good

He's actually qualified as an electrician, but still does general building work on the side. When he was younger he was Mr "jack of all trades master of :x all " He's very creative and does make great hutches and runs! I recently sold a hutch and stand he made 15 years ago and when i took the covers off it was still like new.
 
Wow

OMG i love your cages! drool

That is similar to what i want to achieve when making mine, Puts my cage to shame")
 
That is amazing hun!
How many piggers live in each hutch? It looks so spacious :)

2 in the top, 3 in the middle & 2 in the bottom. I wouldn't use each hutch for more than 3 i don't think ... unless it was 4 very well bonded sows/boar sow group.

I do like to make sure they have space though, there's enough room in there for some popcorning!
