    I bought the net from a place online, Net World Sports. I ordered a 12'x72' baseball panel net. It ships from the UK but it didn't take me long to get it. It seems to be basically the same net as the PigBrig. 7' T-post, straps to anchor the post from Harbor Freight, exhaust clamps from autozone, rebar with nut welded on for inside anchors, and some old bed rail for the outside anchors. I have about $350-$400 in the total setup. I couldn't see the $2500 PigBrig is charging. I'm going to add a upper net to prevent jumping out. Some got close the net absorbs the impact and they just fall back down.

    Do you have plans for building that? That's awesome!
    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    No trigger, we conditioned them to going under the net then finally let the net all the way down. They naturally root under it to go in. That's the great thing about this trap no trigger. We looked a the camera and the first went in around 5:50pm but the last big hog didn't go in until 2am. Anything with a trigger or door, usually won't catch the entire sounder in my previous experience.

    There was some chaos until we got the biggest ones killed.

    What was the firearm of choice used to send them to hell?
    I'm envisioning something like a BAR in 30 06.

    12'x72' will make 20' diameter or slightly larger trap.

    I'll make a list of all the components and where I bought them.
