i always think the longer the better put a bend in it about 1/4 the way up it stops the wind blowing directly into the chamber and helps them become occupied.

with the new laws on terrier work it's a good idea to make them so fox bolt as soon as the terrier is entered.

a simple y shape is ideal ,with two length's of nine inch land drain,the bendy yellow type,and at about ten foot in length.

 

make the chamber out off a 18" square patio slab on the bottom ,with sides made out of four concreat blocks and another

slab on top .

 

place on a south facing slope,and put a load of sand in the chamber.

 

the y shape will make sure a fox bolts from one tube as the terrier enters the other,and a easy shot can be made.

all in the name of game bird protection.
