Hog Trap
I go over the dimensions, materials, and construction of my large box trap, and why I built it the way I did.
Materials:
48" x 16' 6ga util panels with 4x4" squares (for sides)
50" x 16' 6ga cattle panels (for top)
2" x 1/8" square tubing
2" x 2" x 1/8" angle iron
1" x 1/8" square tubing (for trigger)
3' scrap rebar (for trigger)
1/2" pipe & 1/2" bolts (for main gate hinges)
8' 2x10 PT (for unloading ramp)
2 door hinges (for unloading ramp)
Build time was about 20 hours. If I was building a bunch of these I might be able to cut that time in half as a lot of the time was spent head-scratching on how I was going to do the next step. But there's still a lot of cutting and welding time as there's around 800 welds total. I've got good tools and am really not that slow so I think a lot of the smaller traps must be really poorly constructed to sell for around $300.
The angled gate did take some extra time; if I build another the gate will drop 90-degrees and I'll fabricate a latch to hold it shut.
I need to attach some sheet metal to the roof, just enough to provide some shade in the summer and keep the hogs from dying. It'll be used scrap steel off an old chicken coop that I'll just wire to the top.
