Ramps for water tank Water proof

[chickimoma]

I just put in a cattle water trough (8 ft long, 3 wide, 3 deep) and need to put a ramp in the water so ducks can exit to deck and ramp down. Any ideas?

I had the same set up for a while and just put a big smooth rock/boulder in the water and it worked great.

Rocks or bricks or pavers or a cinder block could be submerged as a step to get them close to the surface of the water to exit the trough and will likely take up less swimming space than a ramp.

Thanks. That was my initial thought. Did see a tank with a floating platform. Looks like it was made of wood. Advantage of rock is it does reduce amount of water need to fill tank and they don't rot.
