So many uses for one ark!
Our pig arks make great shelters for sheep, goats, geese, dog kennels...... anything that needs a roof over it's head!
We can make an ark with a floor and front mesh door which would be ideal shelter for any kind of poultry.
Plus kids think they make great wendy houses! We can adapt them to suit your needs.
We make and supply pig ark kits in the following sizes-8'x8' at £235, 8'x6' at £170 and 6'x6' at £160. At New Close Farm we don't believe in making an "economy version" we only make quality arks that we are happy to use ourselves. We want you to be 100% happy with your ark and get years of use out of it. We feel the 8'x6' is an ideal size, most people start off with a couple of weaners and end up having more. The 8'x6' will sleep 2 sows or up to 5 weaners comfortably. Other suppliers state that an 8'x6' will house 8-10 weaners. It will for a couple of weeks but you will need a second ark a long time before they get to pork weight. We strongly recommend using an 8'x8' for farrowing large sows with a rear farrowing door. We use Polyester grey coated box section steel roofs which are galvanised underneath the grey coating so they will last for years. We are also making the smaller 6'x6' for Kune Kune's and micro pigs, they only stand 3' tall so they are more cosy for small pigs. We are happy to accommodate your needs so please contact us if you require something a bit different. We also supply Pvc strip door curtains for our arks to keep the weather out and the straw in! We can make them to fit other arks and buildings so please contact us for a quote. Arks are supplied in kit form for you to construct yourself following our simple instructions. Unlike other self assembly arks we make it very simple for you to construct and do as much as we can before supplying to you. Other companies will give you every little bit for you to put together yourself, we know because we have bought them in the past. If you order a farrowing door it will all be made up within the panel with hinges and bolt fitted so you don't have to spend your time making up the door etc.
 Our arks have a sturdy frame and the steel roof gives more strength. The ark shown above features a farrowing door.
Delivery is available please contact us for a quote. We can also supply assembled arks, we charge £30 to build an 8'x6' or 6'x6' for you. An assembled 8'x8' is an extra £50. If you have transport big enough we can still supply a fully assembled ark for you to collect.
A floor can be supplied for your ark. A ply floor (inch thick)for the 6'x6' or 8'x6' is £120 or £160 for the 8'x8'. A tanalised sawn timber floor made up of 22mm x 150 mm boards is £95 or £135 for the 8'x8'. Arks with a floor will have skids underneath so they can be towed, towing eyes will also be supplied.
Farrowing doors on the rear of the ark can also be added for £30. Hand holes for lifting the ark to move it will be cut for you. Two people can lift the ark to move it if you don't have a floor, you will need to be very strong to lift the 8'x8'!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. We are pig breeders and keepers ourselves so we use these arks for our own animals. As we use a courier we can usually deliver as quickly as needed. You are welcome to collect your kit from us.
It is important that we know how our customers find us so pease take the time to tick a box!
