So mum has requested her verandah back so my challenge is to make a cage that is at least 3 levels high, preferably four levels, to suit three different groups of pigs that cant live together. One is a group of 4, one a group of 3 and the other is a group of 3 rescue sows, one is preg so the amount in the group might change a bit.
I have room on the verandah to make a cage up to 240 cm long and 70 deep. Which ends up being almost 7 grids by 2 grids. Grids around here are very expensive and bad quality so thats basically a no go. Our Bunnings store dosn't stock them any more and the closest K-Mart is three hours away.
Bunnings does have the wire shelving though so I was thinking of getting the huge metal shelving things from an Office Works store that sells them down in Newcastle, and then using the pieces of shelving as the wire parts and lining it with Corflute.
Or i saw a nice levelled cage made of wood in the photo galleris, only thing is my Dad isn't sure whether he and I would be able to make it as it is a rather large project.
So I was wondering does anyone else have any other ideas for a cage like this?

P.S. before anyone asks the rescue sow was preg before she was rescued and i adopted her, I have spare cages for any boys that may come from the litter.
