Anyone out there have one they are not using or know how to build one cheap?
I built with with a 5ft high 50ft chainlink, 8 green garden post poles and cement mixes to hold those poles in ground. And some steel wires and zipties to hold those chainlinks to poles. For a gate, I made with 1" thick square steel bars. 3.5ft wide and 4ft tall and it opens side way with hinges. probably spent like little less than 200 dollars for everything.
Other people might say this is dumb or weak trap, but hey it works just fine for me. I've had maximum 4 pigs inside and they tried break out but they couldn't lol
When you get a chance could you send me some pic's. of the door and how you set it up?
My friends use kind of the same setup- chain link.. you just gotta make sure its really tight otherwise any decent size hog will tear at it, get under it and out.
Make sure you use tension wire on the bottom of the chain link. That will keep it from being flimsy and make it harder for them to get under it. This suggestion is not from trapping experience just from installing/repairing chain link fences
