Instead of using slots cut into the logs or boards, I use a couple of nails on top of the logs, bent over to hold the trap, you still have enough adjustibility to move the trap up or down a little to get it the right depth.

Made up two Madtrapper style put them out Saturday on my stream that just opened up and Sunday the traps were missing in each. Thought stream debris or something knock them out but each held a beaver. As I don't have water the depth Madtrapper suggested I stapled plastic gutter leaf guard around outside. These floats are the best. My stream rises or falls a foot a day in the spring.
