I'm working on my expansion including duck and goose house. They will have a small 24hr predator safe run area.
Here's the issue. The ground where this pen is going apparently collected much debris over the years. It's a very old property. I dug up some 3-5 foot long flag stones under there, buried nearly a foot deep. New patio! Or something anyway. Always fun digging here. Except I also dug up a small mountain of green glass bottle bits, beautiful old flat light amber glass, and sharp steel. Bones! All this under those flags.
I know how ducks are, always beaking down deep. It's going to keep coming up no matter how much I clean and sift. Anyone ever try landscape fabric under gravel? Do they tear through? Better to do pavers? Seems hard on the webbing. Cold to lay on also.
Please note that they will have big run access, this is their indoor outdoor private area. It'll be 10x11ish, with their house inside.
