I was thinking of making a hog trap out of a chain link dog kennel. Either 20x20 or 10x10. What's the best way to make the door to let them in but not get out? Should I use a solar panel and hot wire to keep from digging under? All suggestions are appreciated

I don't think the chain link would hold them in. They'll just ground out the hotwire to the fencing and bust out. It's fight or flight when they're trapped and they'll push through it. You could probably use the frame but would need to weld in hog panel or 4x4 that's rigid enough to hold them. I've seen some folks use the trampoline frame and wrap it in hog panel. That's my thoughts anyways. I built one from a round bale ring but haven't had a chance to set it yet.
