- Make this trap with just PVC, zip ties, some form of net/screen, and boat bumpers. seriously, most people have most of this stuff laying around the house already. There is nothing more annoying than going to your pond and seeing tons of little turtle heads popping up. or worse yet, getting one on the hook trying to steal your bait. the best way to keep them at bay is to trap them consistently. this thing works.

Here turtle, turtle 🐢 😆
I'll buy the kit from you, and put it together myself.
what size metal did you use for the doors?
i think it was 1/16 or so wood-grained stainless steel sheet. the main thing is that it has some type of traction on there. i dont think smooth metal would work because their feet wouldnt be able to grip.
Are you using 1” pvc and are the bolts 5/16 x4” long
Just drill small holes top n bottom pvc , it'll let in water , it'll sink , won't need sand .
Has anyone tried this trap yet?
I’ll be building this soon. We are covered up in turtles! Can you give a general cost to build this and I’m curious what the ramp is made of? Can I find that at the hardware store?
I think it was around 100 dollars but you could build several for just a little more. The mesh will come in a big roll that enough to do several, plenty of glue as well for multiple traps. It would be super cheap if you could just buy enough stuff to do one. I bought the ramp from my local scrap yard, you can find anything at the hardware store that will bend and has texture though. Maybe a piece of expanded metal or even wood that was screwed to some brackets that were bent to the right angle.

Question
Instead of the wire mesh on the bottom of the cage. Could you have used the garden mesh also?
You certainly could but it may not it’s shape AS good. I used the wire to give it a little more rigidity to hold square.
Can I buy a trap from you ?
Hey man I have a couple of questions for you about the boat build. Is there anywhere I can message you to talk about it
Sure. Message me on fb. Search for jack armstrong.
Jack also,what size PVC did you use?
3/4
you sell them
Not currently.
Tie wraps break due to sun UV. NO. You don't show it in the water working! Nice theory idea but unproven here in the video.
