===== INSTALLING M.I.N.E.™ GATE ===== 

Trap shy adult hogs will not step over a threshold. Dig a two-inch trench 
with a hand pick to conceal the bottom gate frame. Use a level to ensure 
the drop gate remains square for smooth operation. Cover the threshold 
with dirt and camouflage to blend with surrounding area.{{:wiki:mine_trap:installation:gate:install-gate-1.png?nolink&200 |}}{{:wiki:mine_trap:installation:gate:install-gate-2.png?nolink&200 |}}

post is the weakest link if not secured 
properly. Ensure the panel’s vertical 
1/4” steel rods are on the outside of the 
enclosure (against the post) and the 
horizontal steel rods are on the
inside. Use the post lugs to lock the 
vertical steel rod between the post and 
gate support.

possible and reinforce the 
joint with six anchor points of 
double stranded 11 gauge
galvanized steel wire or a 
single strand of 9 gauge 
galvanized steel wire.
