Free fencing material for ducks/geese

Flower rack or something, about 16’ long maybe 16” tall. If you were thinking of making paddocks permanently.

Found 2 outside the big box grocery store.probably a holiday season thing. The boards look closely spaced enough to prevent duck crossing.

If I were building a paddock with pallets it would take 60 to cross an acre, these only about 15. I think heavy rocks would be enough to hold them in place, or some sharpened branches.

For me, fencing for ducks is not just about keeping ducks in, but also about keeping other critters out.

Also, my ducks could go over 16". These panels sound great if you're trying to subdivide a larger, secure paddock - say to control how wet an area gets or to let grass/forbes recover. On my land, lots of creatures want duck dinner.

So, yes, I'd grab such free material in a heartbeat - keep it out of the landfill and put it to good use.

I think it comes down also to the breeds/size of your Ducks.

Assuming they are nonflying, you can get away with around a three foot fence I believe. The chunky pekins I would imagine you could get away with even smaller.

I agree with Jay, my uses of fences are in large part to keep things out of my animal pens moreso than keeping the animals in. I have a lot of predator pressure in my area and that is something that always is in the back of my mind. That is why my chicken run/coop is built to be the avian Alcatraz but with nice furnishings

Yes, this is meant for paddocks within a secure perimeter fence.  I have been rotating electric and have done plenty moaning and whinging about electric fencing---and now I am dreaming of having permanent fencing with gates (that the dog can hopefully navigate to guard the paddock, we'll see how that works but he's at least smarter than me so probably will work). I will make gates from a pallet.  If some birds get over the fence the dog will probably corral them! he thinks he's a herding dog more than a guard.  

And if a few get out for a bit it's not a big deal, they escape from the electric pretty frequently anyway, just not from the perimeter fence.

We make dog doors in the poultry fence by building a frame and hanging old rubber truck floor mats for a swinging door (attached on top) that LGDs can easily navigate but not ducks. It works better with double floor mats one on either side of frame so they're a few inches apart or if you have heavier rubber that would be even better
