10 T-Post Brackets
Brackets used when hanging the net on the T-posts.
10 Cinch Straps
Adjustable straps used to connect the ground anchors to the corresponding T-posts.
Tools You Need to Supply
These tools and materials are required for setup but are not included in the kit:
- 10 T-posts
- Post driver
- Hammer
- Screwdriver
- Impact driver, recommended for the anchors
Inventory the Kit and Gather Your Tools
Unpack the blue bag and confirm that every included part is present. Lay out the T-posts, post driver, hammer, screwdriver, and impact driver before beginning installation.
Setup Tip: Keep trap components and required tools in separate groups. Confirming inventory before traveling to the site helps prevent delays once installation begins.
Start with a Complete Inventory
A successful P.I.G. Hog Trap installation begins before the first T-post is driven. Review the kit and gather the required tools so you can move directly into site preparation, trap layout, post installation, anchor placement, and net deployment.
If any component is missing or damaged, identify the issue before setup begins. Do not substitute critical trap components without first verifying that the replacement is appropriate for the system.
