Building a Duck House

[basketball duck]

I'm going to built a new duck hut. I want to be able to rise the duck house out with a hose for easy cleaning. Any ideas??

Depending on your bedding, I've drilled some small holds in my duck house floor to act as a drain, I hose mine out and scrub it with the yard brush,

We built ours out of Pallets, Filled the pallet floor with extra wood from other pallets. Half Pallet walls, with extra boards on the side so no water could get in. Two pallets, for the roof. http://www.lowes.com/pd_12747-1115-...ue&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&facetInfo=
That over the top of the roof. That way rain wouldn't get in filled it with hay for eggs.

I used deck paint on the floor of my house but have yet to need to wash it out. Water can be really hard on wood and metal and use it sparingly. I used a pallet as a base and plywood for the floor and most of the sides. I also used good quality exterior paint for the everything else.

Here is mine its mainly 6x1 treated timber, with a little 4x2 used for a frame and a little felt on top,

Here is mine. It's 4ft x 4ft (well just under 4ft since the pallet wasn't exactly square). I'm in TX so we have to worry more about the heat than cold. I am going to put a piece of plexi glass over the one open side sans the door when it start regularly getting in the 40's at night. Right now it's only getting into the 60's at night.

Here was the framing and building
