Today I started on my traps but befor that I put this toghter I made two one for me and one for my brother. It is just at 6'' thick and 5'6'' long all folded up the support hinge is forword of the back so that if you need to stake it to the ground you can there is a 1'' hole in the end for a form stake or what ever you have to stake it with. I saw this at the traapers ed class that Bruce and Karen gave two weeks back. I liked it because it will not take up much room.
