Need ramp/step ideas for the pond

[michellers]

Girls were able to try out their new pond today. They love the deeper section and the shallow areas to stand on as they clean themselves.

Obviously today I put them in there and then took them back out. The pond is about 21" high from the ground. What would be a good ramp/step system for them? I'd like something on the right side.

Any ideas and suggestions would be great!









I'll grab another picture. I thought I uploaded a better view.

what breed of duck are those?

You could try cinder blocks as steps but I know my ducks had a hard time using them but they were a lot younger then. I switched to a piece of lumber and just made a small ramp. Not sure the dimensions as it was just something I found laying around. Although yours is a lot taller than mine is so not sure if a ramp would work. Do you have any of them blocks you used to hold it up left over? They would probably make easier steps as they are shorter than cinder blocks.

I made a ramp with plywood and 2x4's underneath for support, covered the whole thing with plastic poultry fence for grippiness.
