Had some good feedback on another post about building a trap door for a corral style hog trap. Thanks to those that helped out. Here is the pics so far, not much to look at but I think it will work once I get the cattle panel on it. Hopefully that will be done Friday, we're headed out to the lease Monday.



Started getting cold but almost done, thats the Grizwalds house in the background.

Looks like you got it going in the right direction.

At the end (or bottom) of the drop door, you might have to install a piece of angle iron for it to rest on - unless you've got that in mind anyway.

The problem is, in some areas, the ground might get soft and muddy and allow the hogs to push the door down into the mud when they climb on it ---- and climb on it they will.

Just a thought...

Thanks Orn, Ive got a piece of angle just in front of the doors to keep them from trying to root open the door. I was afraid if I didnt put anything in front the sand on our place would allow them to let themselves out. I plan to work on it tomorrow and I can add that as well.
