For everyone who's built their own hot traps what your order material to use for the frame?

Hello Wolfdog,

You cannot over build a hog trap. For a corral trap, I have had success using 5' horse panels with the 4"X4" squares. The smaller square size helps keep piglets in.
Support the headgate area as best you can as it has been my experience that is where the bigger hogs will test the trap the most. They will hit it and hit it until they find a weak spot. Making a round pen re-enforced with t-posts every 5 feet seems to work pretty good, but of course economics comes into play.

For boxtraps, I've seen many folks use angle iron for the frame and then mig weld the panels onto it from the inside for strength. Chancey

I use old pickup bed stock racks cut down and covered in 4x4 mesh

I have 5x8 1 inch square tubing frames with goat panel welded to them. 8ft gate on 2 inch square tubing frame.

Seen guys use old hay rings for the frame. Make either a guillotine or rooter style door frame and weld panel onto the ring. They would anchor it with a couple of t posts.
Airport that's a good looking setup.

Thanks

if you use livestock panels overlap them one square so that they cant rip the pamels appart where they come together if you just butt the panels together and tie to post the uprights can tearout of the panel when a hog runs into it hard .

Thanks guys. I'm needing to build some smaller traps that can be transported quickly and easily. Highly doubt any hogs are going to be over 80-100 lbs. Not to mention I got folks riding me about building them a nice hog trap.

How much did your controller and camera cost you all together? Seen some hand made deals that where under $200 with the camera and controller not to mention the sim cards and plans

Those panels can be stacked up and hauled around wolf dog, have mine made 6-8 ft. long, no fence post driving with those, just slide a rod through them to connect together, can make the trap as big or small as you wish. Imagine his door on it with camera and all the jazz is around 4 grand!

Got doors made like that for 125 bucks, they work mainly off trip wire set up we use though but can be used on the fancy star trek trigger's with your phone as well.

You can get a camera for 100 bucks, you can build a cellular controlled device for $150 , maybe a little less

Airport, that homemade or bought made?

Homemade

Would be very interested to know how you built it airport, if you are willing to share. I've already got a spare mobile line.

I will try to make an in depth video on this and put it on my YouTube channel

Heres a good page I was looking at on the matter
