one major piece of advice, teach them that the bucket means food. when, not if they get out the bucket will make it sooooo much easier to get them back in. it has worked for us with everything from feeders to boars and sows.
The magic bucket fairweather :lol: Works with our pigs too and cows, sheep, horses even the chickens.

We do have a big barn here that has several sections but out in the pastures we just "graduated" to PortaHuts for shelter & we are really liking them. In the past we have built hoop houses out of cattle panels & tarps etc but the PoratHuts are much sturdier & I think warmer. You can often find them for sale used.

Here's one of my pens and a house we built from free pallets. The fencing I use is just cattle panels from TSC---although the fence on the backside of the pen is just farm fence attached to landscape timbers.

If it was me... I would move that pen or at least protect the tree roots with additional good fencing from the pigs eating the bark from the roots ( girder) ASAP or soon the trees will die.
