Simple yet genius. Been looking for something like this for awhile. Wish i found ya two years ago. But then again I may not have appreciate it as much:-) Thank You for sharing.

I love when Dad's get involved and introduce all sorts of stuff like a drain system and ramp, they can't help themselves but upgrade things. I loved seing the ducks getting involved through it too.

I like it, good idea :)

lol ducks are supervising the work

Thank you for your good idea. It is very simple make. I like it. I have a young duck 6 wks old. He's growing so fast! This pond is very suitable for him. Also, his dirty water I can use for my garden as well. This great!

We did some thing similar, but on a larger scale. We dug a (roughly) 10x5 ft pond and lined it with concrete. It has a pump that pumps the water out into our 30x10 ft garden when we drain it and put fresh water in it. Great job!

Great idea!! Reminded me a bit of aquaponics, no water is wasted.

Thanks for this video. I've been trying to figure out a way of doing this without having to dig in or empty the water with buckets!

That is a cute pond!

cool idea, thanks for the information/instructional video... now I just have to come up with some creative ideas to hide the piping. they look like happy ducks

Awesome idea...thank you.

Oh, I think it looks terrific! :) I would recommend some side rails on the ramp and the landing up top, to shield from walking over the edge easily. Sometimes on mine I would put corn on the landing to entice them up. I would even make a 'corn trail' right up the ramp,lol! :)

Wow nice I like it!!!!

Go the duck cam !

how did you deal with the muck in the bottom, didnt it clog the pipe after awhile.

That easy for them to get out of the pool?

BTW, how long is your ramp please?

hi , looks GREAT, ..how do you protect against Hawks and other airborne predators.?

wow, nicely done... inspirational and the style of your video keeps people watching! It really is perfect. LUCKY DUCKS! I'm so impressed. I wondered if the ducks chew on or can pull or tangle in the drain chain? And also, how did you get the great shots of them underwater (I'm guessing a waterproof camera like go pro?) THANKS for a great video!

Thanks for the compliments! No problem with the ducks pulling on or tangling the chain. A while later, we put in a ball valve for the drain because the kitchen plug slowly leaked. We filmed the whole thing with a GoPro and iPhone.

you could put soil around pond to elevate it,and plant grass seed around it,kinda small,if bigger,I would say add muscles to help clean water

Could you add just a few muscles for that size? Very interesting.

and the pond is a tad solution

Why not water your garden with the dirty water?

It does. We grow corn on the left side of the pond.

Well, that makes sense. I was afraid that water that ducks used was going to waste. I bet you grow some good corn!

That's tiny

Too small. We have a good size pond for fun which has a pump to keep water clean as possible and it gets cleaned out monthly. Also, the have 3 apple shape sandpits pools which they love and get fresh water each day. We have 2 Drakes and 3 females. They are very happy. I hope since you made this video, you have given them more swimming pools to stimulate them. That is not enough on its own. Sorry if I sound harsh, but I'm not, just thinking of the Ducks.

That's a bad duck to drake ratio. Ducks will be torn up in breeding season or drakes will get into fights

I agree with male to female ratio. Your response. "That is terrible, why would you do something awful like that. We have a much better ratio than you do." Just thinking of the ducks

i mean its a tad to small lol

Poor ducks. We have a bigger pool that’s cheaper and we only have one duck!
