 +===== 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 |}}

 +{{ :wiki:mine_trap:installation:gate:install-gate-3.png?nolink&100|}}The panel joint at the gate support 
 +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.
