Home depot doesn't carry 10" wide cedar boards so I make it out of pine. https://www.ducks.org/conservation/waterfowl-research-science/build-a-wood-duck-box I use this varmint guard, they work OK, but I beef it up a little by adding additional screws on the connection points. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CNQSC4Y6?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image And I mount the boxes on this 10' chain link fence 1 3/8" pole. And attach it to a 6' tpost. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbil...PAlGEAQYBCABEgLE7PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Going to try to put up a fee more this spring. Instagram - 2flyfish4

Now old age is creeping up on me. Josey Wales : More like old habits than old age.
