Old Duck Run/House Post

[Cozydanika]

Hello! This may be a bit of a long shot, but I’m hoping someone will know what I’m talking about!

Before I had ordered my ducklings, I was researching duck run/house builds. There was a post by a gentleman where he went into great detail on the process he followed for both house and run. In particular, I’m looking for the part where he used PVC to hold skinny conduit in a larger pipe to create the roof of his run.

For whatever reason, I never bookmarked the page and now I can’t find it ANYWHERE and I’ve been looking for hours! Now that the ducks are here, I want to try his method to transform an old dog run (chain link held up by thick pipes) into a run with roof and reinforced with smaller hardware cloth.

What I remember: I believe the post is from 2010-2015 ish. He bent conduit to make a lovely roof on his run. I originally found it through a link in a different forum post, so it might be an article that I’m actually looking for, not forum post. I remember clicking to check out his page and it turns out he had passed away, I believe around 2020. I am 85% sure it was on this website.

Thanks in advance! I’m just so hoping that someone knows what I’m talking about!

I did a quick search and I came across an article from aart, an absolutely dear woman who used to post the most detailed and instructive things about how she did everything, and this is no exception and maybe what you're looking for. While it may not be this specific article (it is a little earlier than the date range you thought) that you read in the past I can imagine that if this conversation came up in other threads and posts she would have provided the same information there or perhaps linked her article in response and that may have been where you would have seen it. Honestly I can think of no better person to look to for this kind of informative and instructional text and photos explanation of such a thing it is just unfortunate that she is no longer with us because you could have gotten even more information by being able to talk directly with her here, however this article is pretty darn good and if you search for other posts by her with regards to conduit you will probably find all sorts of mentions that she may have made about her process
