I don't know how to make the 2 door traps, I use this to make the 4 door topless ones and I have been doing it for a few years now. You will have some scrap fence material. Use the left over material to make the rings that hold it all together. Bass Pro sells hog ring pliers in the meat grinder department, you can use those to make the rings. I can get about 15 traps per roll.

My oldest traps are on their 5th season and still in great shape. Hose them off with fresh water and leave them to dry before putting them away...

I have 40 traps right now that a guy was in the process of building before he got sick and went into a long term nursing situation. I purchased the contents of his estate. He cut all the panels and has them bent and ready to wire together. Basicly there are 40 "U" shaped sections which form the bottoms and two sides. Then there are 80 pieces that form the doors and 40 pieces that form the the tops. You just need to hog ring the pieces together. I would sell them for $1 each. $40 for all. If you are interested Pmail me. I will try and get you a picture if need be but would rather meet you in Bel Air where I live or White Marsh where my shop is and show you.

I'm new to the site and just saw your posting. Are the 40 unfinished traps for $40 still available?

I can drive to White Marsh or Belair...I'm on Kent Island.
