They look a nightmare to fold.

Not too bad to be honest. One side is welded on to make life much easier. Nice little corner joint in 3mm.
I love it, handles like a sports car, accelerates pretty good and great carrying capacity, only downside is it drinks like a fish
I can quite imagine, I have the same shape as yours but as the Outback.
I've also a mk3 Legacy with a knackered clutch currently being attacked/ surrounded by the lawn :P

The wife has the Outback 3.0RN, also quite nippy but an auto as opposed to the manual i have, previously had an older Legacy but just a 2.0.

Outbacks a 2.5, Legacy is a 2.0. Both have hi-lo transfer box though.
Scoobies are great aren't they?
Previous Legacy had the hi-lo box but neither of our present ones do. Yes love them and especially the flat 6 boxer in the 3.0L ones. Not sure how much longer mine will last, sea air is not the best for them and mine regularly gets spray from the sea, sometimes a bit more as it is parked just where this wave is most days
I may actually consider welding this car though as I love it and even though it has done over 150K it still drives like a dream.Just finished what is the last job (I think
) for the 10m Cheetah before it gets launched, it is an exhaust flap for the donkey engine.

Like that a lot addjunkie, some friends of ours have started a pig sanctuary (for myself I'd be looking for a bigger freezer!) but they take in pigs that were bought as pets but have outgrown their situation. Currently they've got 17. Housing is an issue and they're concerned to keep them as well as they can (and as economically as far as building materials are concerned)
If you don't mind me asking what were the materials used in yours and where did you source them? I guess it was a lot cheaper than the conventional arks, which seem to come in at £350 plus.
Great job and looks good too.

Lots of them round this way but they are usually corrugated tin.

We have the big freezer, and will have more hebridean lamb in it at the weekend. The pigs are Tamworth weaners to be fattened, the plan is to contain them with electric fencing. Hopfully they will eat all the weeds, and rough grass, so we then reseed once they are moved. I suspect they will be alot less hassel than sheep, so we may breed some next year.
The arc is made from https://www.solwayrecycling.co.uk/agricultural/stokbord
I used 12mm and 6 mm for the curved top. Wasnt as cheap as ply or stirling board, but longevity will be better. Could have used corrugated tin, but not much difference price wise.
Solway recycling dont make the board. So I suspect there will be other suppliers, just a case of finding them, possibly cheaper.

I took a load of bale wrap to a plastic recycling place the other day for my father in law.
They had a good few dog/calf/pig/pony shelters on the go.
Not my favourite place however. I'm 3 for 3 on picking up nails in trailer tyres on visits there

Thats probably why he sends you, probably the same place judging by your location.

It was Solway Recycling I went to!
I think the factory that actually makes the boards is in Dumfries.
