The best pig pens are built on flat areas that offer plenty of drainage. Pigs need a small structure to protect them from rain or cold weather. Once this is built, you can put a fence around their little house. People like to think of pigs as messy animals, but they are actually very organized. Keep this in mind, as they would need separate spaces for mud or straw, food, and the bathroom area. Most importantly, build your pen out of sturdy materials because pigs enjoy rooting and may easily push over a wall or dig under a fence.
