Hi Welshhedgie
I suspect that this type of hog residence varies fairly substantially in quality. As with all these things some people will try to jump on the bandwagon and made them more cheaply, using not such good materials and not spending as much time making sure there aren’t areas which hogs might become trapped in. So I would have a really good look underneath and make sure that everything is securely fixed and generally that you think it looks safe for the hogs, before use – or before purchase if you have the chance. Maybe steer clear of the cheaper ones.
Personally if I was getting another hog house, I would try to get a wooden one with a floor. I think they would be likely to last longer, too, so might be cheaper in the long run.
