[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1825708, member: 18945"] I had 4 on my old pond, on top of 8' tee posts. I used 1 1/2 two hole conduit anchors to hold a piece of PVC to the back of the boxes, drilled a hole near the top of the teepost so it would stay put on to and set the whole thing down on the tee post. Had several nestings that I know of, but every one of the boxes floated off in the big 2017 Harvey flood. I found only 3 of them. In the far distant, you see a line of trees. That's national forest. On evening late, I heard my wife yelling at the dog and when I went around to the front yard, she was trying to herd a whole bunch of baby wood ducks that had come running out of the forest and were heading toward the pond by running under the house to avoid the dogs. Not many made it. They weren't safe in my pond either. More than once (and some people don't believe it) I saw ducklings go skitting across the water when I walked up and a big bass come up and grabbed one. I only have one pic of 1 of them before I put it back on it's post. You can see the teepost between the pine trees. I liked the idea of the boxes, but the truth was, I had wood ducks all over that place even without the boxes. [ATTACH type="full"]36802[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
