Knocked these 4 wood duck boxes out last weekend and got them setup today.

I use this template for building the boxes. Home depot doesn't carry 10" wide cedar boards so I make it out of pine.

I use this varmint guard, they work OK, but I beef it up a little by adding additional screws on the connection points.

And I mount the boxes on this 10' chain link fence 1 3/8" pole. And attach it to a 6' tpost.

Cool. That should be a tax deductible.

That would be nice, I have about $75 in material in each box after its all said and done. I'd build them all off season if I could afford it.

I use hardware cloth, seems to be the easiest and quickiest way.
