I would think so , i use some big nails. But more 1/4 cold roll than anything.
Let me sugar coat this

I have a bunch of them. Could a person weld #9 ga on them. Would they work or not a good idea? Anything you can weld a 9 wire to that sticks in to the ground will work. Railroad spikes might get heavy though. Just need something to hang the snare and keep the support from rotating in the ground. I'm a horrible welder and using 120 volt 20amp cheapo, so you can laugh at my welds. Coyotes dont mind though. Ha. I agree. I build mine like the freedom brand (second from left) except I don’t put the 45 degree angle on them. One boy cutting cold roll, one cutting flat iron, one cutting support wire, and me welding. I can make a boat load in a hour.

They work great but I end up with a tangled mess after I bundle them. Haven't tried it yet but thinking a piece of pvc about 3 feet long. stick the #9 wire in and leave the nail sticking out. How do you guys keep it from being a time consuming tangled mess?

Danny, I don’t have any good suggestions. Mine are always a mess after I’ve made 3 or 4 sets. PVC is a great idea!

bobcat_trapper, #11 will work fine. I actually prefer it over #9.
