slope for critters

hi we have a wooden fish pond and we are wanting a slope for the critters to get in and out we have created some steps in front of our pond but woundering how to adjust it into a slope , i was thinking of adding tree branch into the steps but how would this be
possible thanks for your advice

 

If it were me I think I would remove the bricks and use decking, have a platform at the top and then slope down.

 

You need a slope into the pond so hedgehogs can get in and out, if you haven't done it already.

 

thanks for your ideas , there are no bricks only sleepers made into steps i will think of how to do this slope

 

Apologies, I see now, I thought they were bricks.
I made this for my daughter's rabbit, I'm thinking on the same lines only with decking, all you would need is some small batten for the decking to sit on it doesn't need to hold weight so nothing to heavy needed.

 

That's the way I was thinking.

 

not too sure about the end thats on the sleeper to the right

 

Personally I'd remove the sleepers, and probably make the ramp longer if possible.

 

we have no more decking to make the ramp longer i can see about cutting the bottom sleeper back more so the ramp will lay on the floor more just need to adjust the angle of the ramp on the left side

 

Maybe remove top 4 sleepers on the right then they have a longer platform to start from?

 

Is there a ramp coming out of the pond Gizmo? If a hedgehog falls in it won't be able to get out.

 

Does it matter how long a slope is for critters ?

Only gutter protection over planted pots at the moment

 

Can anyone advise if decking can be used as a ramp inside pond ..thanks
