SteamyTea Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Can you just create an artificial island and let the ducks build their own home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s going to be beyond my current skill set... a nice idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I thought that video was fairly straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dFunction Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I've used polystyrene with plastic 5litre containers trapped in between. Does take a bit of trial and error with how heavy the construction is. Will be anchored with bricks and jobs a gooden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonner Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Looks good. Have you calculated the centre of buoyancy?? Please send photo when it’s on the pond ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dFunction Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Floating on pond... Sits nice and steady. Yet to do green roof, will wait till frosts are over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone West Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Like it. Have you had any ducks walking up the ramp yet and if so does it tip up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dFunction Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Not yet, only just gone in... But it won't tip because it's anchored with weights that pull it down into the water so takes a bit of effort to get it to tip in any direction. Should easily take the weight of the ducks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Our Council made one not unlike the Russ video for our local duckpond after some were killed by dogs. Then the Council Leader made a video sitting in a canoe next to it telling us how clever he was. We expect a similar presentation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
