yes I do all 6 sides this way. I either use a slide door or a swing gate. I use a long wrench to bend all of the wire.

I have made a few out of 8 foot diamater hay rings. They are made out of 1 1/4 " square tubing. I just frame in a door, and weld cattle panel on the inside, and top...bottom optional. The panels have 4x4 openings...keeps all pigs inside...they are very easy to handle...I wire the door shut and just roll it where ever I need it, onto a trailer, across the pasture....whatever....



They work for me!!!

HogDude,



Can you roll those traps across the field? Seems like it would work!
