Build a raised splash-pool station for ducks, chickens, and other small animals with a gradual access ramp and an easy-to-reach drain valve. This digital guide takes a beginner through the platform, pool opening, drain route, ramp, and final water-use checks.

IMPORTANT BEFORE YOU BUY

These are plans for building the station around a compatible round wading pool. The pool itself and all construction supplies must be purchased separately. This download is not a finished pool or a physical building kit.

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE

- An 18-page Duck Splash Pool Building Guide PDF with step-by-step construction and safety checks. - A 9-page Duck Splash Pool Blueprints PDF with measured views, component schedules, and build order. - One STL file for 3D model reference. The STL does not store measurement units and does not replace the written dimensions or blueprints. - 25 separate PNG build-reference pictures from the included Pictures folder. - Within the building guide: a materials overview, cut list, drain-layout and fit checklist, and an itemized purchase list with estimated prices. - Step checkpoints, water-test guidance, and build tips throughout the guide.

WHAT THE PLANS BUILD

The design centers a 36-inch-diameter, 15-gallon round wading pool in a 48-inch-square raised upper platform. A 36-inch-square lower platform supports the basin bottom. The plans add a 36-inch-long by 12-inch-wide approach ramp and a drain route leading to a right-side shutoff valve for clean-out.

PROJECT SCOPE AND REQUIREMENTS

The project needs a level, stable outdoor site, a compatible pool and drain system, and safe routing for discharged water. Confirm the actual pool and drain-kit fit before cutting. Keep the station level, smooth, and leak-free, and supervise animals during initial use. This package does not include a DXF file or a dedicated tools list.

BEGINNER-FRIENDLY FORMAT

The guide moves from site planning and material selection through the lower platform, drain, raised frame, pool opening, and ramp. Written dimensions control; do not scale measurements from a drawing. Checkpoints explain what to verify before proceeding.

WOOD COST GUIDE

The wood and plywood subtotal shown by the guide's September 17, 2026 U.S. online price check is $78.36 before tax. This is a planning reference, not a current quote. The pool, drain components, hardware, tools, finishing supplies, tax, and delivery are not included in that wood subtotal; local prices and availability can change.
