Here’s a handyman project that I really enjoyed completing. It’s an apartment complex for ducks. It should house 6 – 12 of the little quackers.

The base is 6 ft by 6 ft and about 4 ft tall at the peak. The front door is 18 in by 24 in, with a few ribs on the back side to make it a bit easier to walk in. The base is mounted on 4 x 4 skids so the house can be drug into place near the owners pond by a small tractor.

The front door has two latches to keep it safely shut so that other critters can’t get in and have a duck dinner during the evening times.

A small screen in the front and a larger in the back should allow plenty of ventilation. And in the back, the wall is easily removed to allow easy sweeping and replacing bedding straw.

Made almost completely from left over material found on hand. Only the hardware needed to be purchased.
