here are a couple of tries at building a cheap box trap- all material was found at a recycling center {scrap yard}, cost was under $ 20.00 on 4 old cot frames, misc. pieces of cattle and hog panels, and pieces of round tubing some misc. pieces of flat bar and angle and some pieces of expanded metay.



one trap was built out of the cot frames, including the guilotine door, and pieces of cattle panels. used round tubing on back of traps and doors with expanded metal. round tubing was also used to make trigger



other trap was just hog panel welded together, back of trap was framed with angle left over from cot frames and round tubing- front door is the same with expanded metal added.



i am a welder and have my own machine so you would have to add in welding cost-



the traps are light so they would have to be tied down with anchors or t-post
