I built a 6-panel pen trap with this gate. Feeder centered inside. Prop the gate open with an upside-down U-shaped hold-open with rope going to the tripwire in the backside of the pen, behind the feeder. Pour corn under the tripwire and when the hogs get to rooting at the corn they pull the prop out from under the gate and you got 'em. I lock the doors open until I get pics of bunches of hogs visiting regularly, then set the trap with lots of corn scattered inside. Don't want the first to enter to go straight to the back and trip it. Give 'em time to all get inside. The piece of 4" mesh across the gate is my calf excluder--keeps them out but the pigs squeeze under it.
