To be fair that looks ok and is well priced but it certainly isn't a BIG LARGE FOX TRAP, tad on the small size I'd say, but for a 1 off job with time on your hands it could be worth a try.  The ones I use now are 47 x 47 and much longer, but cheap traps can work, I had reasonable success with these in years gone by!  Not very sturdy though and fox destroys then, so I need better these days!

I built my own, still working as it this morning

Build your own and on the large size as well. A lot of these ready -to-set traps are too small. You might get one every now and then in them but it’ll be hard work. I’ve got one on a farm, I had it made by a friend and it never fails.

I build all my own now, all the bought ones were either too flimsy or too small, usually both.

 

bigger is deffo better when it comes to fix traps, mine are a minimum of 6 foot long, sometimes 8. And 2 foot high and the same wide, makes most economical sense from an 8x4 sheet of weldmesh., still striving to get the perfect door mechanism though.
