Had a couple WW II army beds no longer being used at deer camp, so decided to make a Hog Trap. Need help with the gate though. It is 30" x 6' so the gate will be smaller than my other trap. Need ideas on swing gate or the guillotine style drop down. Should I buy one premade or is there an easy design I can easily fabricate? I plan on welding hog panels on the inside where the springs are. Found Hogs can break the welds when on the outside.

A few I've one (other than typical guillotine)
Root door (takes up too much of trap interior space to operate)

Dbl door (full width of trap 5x10)...my favorite

designed for cellular, 6'-0", (used as manual here)
That seems kinda small.
Better beef it up, and put a floor in it or stake it down.
Good Luck, always a fun project.
