FAQs

• There is one potential issue with the house – if I put and I centered on the front so it will float in the river, the rope will be right in front of the ducks entryway.If I don't center the eye it will float crooked And if I use two ropes I double my chances for logs and debris to get caught. Any thoughts?

The screw in eye hooks can be moved by the purchaser to any position they choose. They may have to experiment with rope(s) to see what works.

• How do I anchor the Duck house?

The Aquaduck should be anchored using a 2 length of 3/8” nylon rope and an 2-8” concrete blocks. The length of rope will be determined by the depth of the water. Tie one end of the rope to the eye bolt in the platform and then to the block. Tie one end of another similar length of rope to the other eye bolt and the other end to another block. Make sure that the rope is long enough so that the blocks will rest on the bottom of the pond without pulling on the rope. If the rope is too short the weight of the block will cause the Aquaduck to be pulled too low in the water.

Position the Aquaduck in the desired location and lower the anchors into the water until they are on the bottom of the pond.

• We are interested in purchasing one of your floating duck houses and have a waterfall pump that we would need to hang (suspend) from the float. The pump weighs about 75 lbs. Would the float support this extra weight?"

The platform is extremely buoyant, one could actually stand on it I’m sure. It should easily support the pump once provisions are made on bottom side to support the pump. Customer could easily add a couple of cross pieces to support pump.

• Do I need to put any Thompson’s Water Sealer on the Duck House?

Not necessary, but it wont hurt if you do.

• I am told that people attach the floating house to some sort of clothesline type pulley to pull the house to the shore to get the duck eggs. Have you ever heard this?

Seems most just put them out in the pond or lake and anchor them using concrete blocks and nylon rope on two points using the eyebolts already attached. Most of the time take just push it out in the water using a small boat. I’m sure there are lots of ways I don’t know about that are effective.

• I was looking at your duck houses and wondering what you use as a flotation device? How much weight will it hold up ?

Aquaduck floats on closed cell Styrofoam..not open cell - and pressure treated pine platform and deck all fastened with screws to provide years of service. It will hold AT LEAST 500 pounds..probably twice that.

Alicia reported on her new Floating Duck House:

We installed our floating duck house. A few days ago the pair of Wood Ducks finally walked up the ladder and sat on the deck. We have turtles also enjoying it. The craftmanship is very good too. Here are some photos:

David sent these photos after receiving his Duck House in May 2021:

Just wanted to let you know the duck house arrived in time for the surprise AND in time for the ducks to take to it and actually the hen has nested in it. Every one is very happy. It was refreshing to receive a product that was well thought out with competent assembly instructions.
