We went 170 miles to pick up a duck house that OH had purchased on ebay for my new ducks. Its made by flytes so fancy and has an automatic opener on it and I am very pleased with it but ............
Its on wheels but is too big to go through the gates to the duck pen. The pen is surrounded by a 4ft high fence and the duck house is too heavy for OH and I to lift over, me being a weak girlie. It doesn't dismantle either, well at least not without making a complete mess of it. How do we get it to where it should be?

You have a duck house moving party  . You invite friends round and you ply them with food and drink  , After they have lifted the duck house over the fence

Depends how big the house is? Is it possible for some strapping farm lads to lift it?
If so, I'd go with Bert, flutter your eye lashes and bribe. 
Or ... cut a hole in the fence? Or ... ask a farmer how he'd do it?

[Bionic]

It is possible for some strapping farm lads to lift it. Now I just have to find some strapping farm lads. Hmmm, might enjoy this bit

Mmmmmmm ...... defo the way to go then  .
Can be hot work ... they may need to strip off. Young and Not so Young Farmers were forced to take off their shirts at this years village show during the tug of war.
Think local YF, Bionic .... I'd give the not so young ones a miss.

[goosepimple]

can you get a tractor to lift it over?  don't know the logistics 

[jaykay]

What's the fence made of? If stock fencing, cut the fence up one upright, open it up and wheel in the duck house.

Then repair by 1. 'lacing' the two pieces together with the single strand wire you do 'top and bottom' wires with on a fence and then 2. cut a piece of stock fencing several squares wide, and then lace that at either edge, over the first gap.

Ask me how I'm so good at this 

[Bionic]

Its stock fencing with chicken wire on the bottom half. 
I will left OH know the suggestions and see what he thinks. Somehow he may not be so keen on the stripped off YF's 

[Castle Farm]

Push it up against the fence and cut a hole in the wire for the ducks to get into the house.

[goosepimple]

   that's a good one Castle Farm.  Or how about keeping it on one side and building an extension on the other side and joining them by a bridge    build a moat around it and a portcullis to keep the foxes out 

[Pipsa]

You don't have any farmers nearby - with a tractor and a forklift ?

[Bramblecot]

You could have come in for a cuppa .  Flyte So Fancy are only up the road (ish)! 
That's as good as me buying a polytunnel on e-bay last week and finding out it had been cemented in .  7 hours of hard labour later, followed by a 120 mile drive

[shygirl]

most farmers have a manotou that would pop it over the fence for you, or a digger would too. just strap it up and lift it over.

It is a flute so fancy house but it was second hand so we didn't get it from them direct. We were up near Welshpool to get it.


At least ours is free standing and it was easy to load onto the trailer.

Oh, you could have come here for a cup of tea, Bionic. Only a stones throw away.
