Anybody have a lead on who makes or sells these? I'm looking for one to catch or drain water from a small duck pond to more easily regulate the water level in the future.

You know, the ones you put a 2x12 or two in, then you have to cut them out after the season once the wood has swollen with water and sealed off?

I can't even find pics of one on the internet so I assume I'm way off when it comes to what these things are actually called.

There's a guy in Eunice that makes them for rice farmers. Coastal Culvert LINK. I had him make some PVC ones for a project I had once. He can make whatever you want.
