Hollywood this was my Wood Duck project about 4 years ago. You can see the critter trap made from stove pipe. The fence post surrounding the post are wired to it for lots of support when the wind blows hard with this big heavy wood duck house on top. The reason this pvc post doesn't break is because I have a 2x2 inch treated wood core inside the pvc pipe and then another pvc pipe slid over the first pvc pipe. Cheap but strong. I assembled this in about 3 feet of water because I wanted the ducklings to jump into the water when they entered their new life. But Wood Ducks don't use this house, Tree Swallows do. Where my Wood Ducks come from I don't know. My water fluxuates about 3 feet and this is at low water levels.
See what I mean. Tree Swallows
Don't do this. Embarrassing.
This is what I built.
