Donations of fencing and animal housing needed
Howdy neighbours!
I am looking for any unwanted second hand building materials to build extra fencing and housing for my rescued ducks
The following sorts of things would be useful if you have any you don't want.
* Wire netting suitable for keeping dogs OUT (lots needed ASAP)
* Old dog kennels, runs, rabbit/guinea pig/WHU hutches, runs (urgent)
* Old chicken coops and runs anything suitable to house ducklings next spring (urgent)
* Gates, stand alone fencing, runs, surrounds etc. (urgent)
* Cable ties
Also always appreciated:
* Clamshell plastic ponds or similar
* Screws especially self tapping square or phillips type 32mm or longer used is fine as long as they can be reused.
* Wire fencing, wire netting, chicken wire, sheep/cattle fencing incl offcuts
* Warratahs etc
* Plywood, old doors or old windows in wooden frames
* Metal brackets, braces supports, flat/straight or corner etc to join or brace wooden sections
* Planks of wood
* Polythene clear plastic, including the thickish clear plastic that you often find as part of the packaging on new furniture, beds, etc
* Waratahs all lengths
* Or unwanted artificial grass/Astro turf, or grass green
* Donations of feed (chicken feed, grains, cat or dog food, non mouldy scraps) to help with the ~250kg per week feed requirements.
* Also if anyone has an old automatic washing machine they no longer need, it would be outdoors used to wash towels and other linen used for ducklings, so wouldn't matter if it had like small leaks etc as long as all functions (wash, spin, drain water) worked.
These items can be dropped off (contactless) by texting me on 020 406 41485 to arrange
If you can help with any of the above please text 020 406 41485

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
