Would you say I could use a metal shed to house my pigs? I can get a bigger metal shed for the same price as a tiny wood one.
I thought maybe it would be too cold in winter and too hot in summer?
And maybe put felt on the roof so the rain isn't loud.
Thoughts anyone?
 
I am not an expert, but I think a smaller wooden shed would be a much better choice.
A metal shed will offer no insulation at all, and you are right in thinking it will be like a freezer in Winter and an oven in Summer!
It would be difficult to adapt and make safe for piggies, so I would go for a wooden shed.
 
But wooden sheds get hot in summer ! But anything gets hot in summer
You could get metal shed because no mice or rats would chew it to get in it and put a lining of feece around the inside of shed to warm it in winter, if that helps
I would go for metal, last longer than wood shed

Hmmm....maybe ,I have an oil filled radiator that is just sat in my garage I could use...will have to think about that one 👍
 
Whatever I decide I need to decide fast,my pigs I think are getting to that teenage pig time and they just keep chasing each other round their cage,I really don't think it's quite big enough and they keep getting in each others way lol
