A good start. How long does it take you to make one, would you say, in hours? Is the mesh expensive and where have you found the best place to buy?

I've only made small animal traps, like rabbit box and drop traps, see saw traps, and larsens/letterbox traps.

it takes me about 2 and ahalf hours to make one yes the mesh is expensive if bought new its about £70 for an 8ft x 4ft sheet but im lucky as iv got a mate that gets me enough off cuts to make a trap from where he works all he asks in return is i make him one as and when he needs one. atb
