Big Dog Steel Tank Trap
Built tougher. Built smarter. Built to stand on.
The all-new Big Dog Steel Tank Trap is engineered for versatility, durability, and fast setup. Now fiber laser-cut from heavy-duty A606 (Cor-Ten®) weathering steel, the new design delivers the rugged construction that match directors and shooters demand while making assembly easier and more adaptable than ever.
Designed to provide multiple engagement angles and firing positions, the Big Dog Steel Tank Trap is a practical, heavy-duty barricade solution built for the range. With multiple mounting points, you can configure your tank trap to suit a wide variety of stages and shooting positions.
New Heavy-Duty A606 Weathering Steel
We built the new Big Dog Tank Trap from A606 weathering steel, commonly known as Cor-Ten® steel. A606 is designed to develop a protective surface patina when exposed to the elements, helping the steel resist atmospheric corrosion without relying on conventional paint or coatings. Over time, the steel develops its characteristic weathered appearance while maintaining the strength and durability needed for demanding range use.
The result is a tank trap that looks at home outdoors and is built to take years of hard use.
Fits Any Style of 4×4
The redesigned brackets are engineered to accommodate virtually any standard 4×4 post, from posts with naturally rounded corners to conventional treated lumber. No more worrying about finding the perfect post profile—the new design gives you the flexibility to use the lumber that’s readily available.
Each kit includes the heavy-duty steel brackets and stainless steel self-tapping hardware. The hardware is selected not only for corrosion resistance but also to provide secure attachment while helping reduce the risk of splitting the wood during installation.
And we didn’t just make it rugged—we made it Rugged. The new Big Dog Tank Trap is a design we don’t just stand behind… it’s a design you could stand on.

Great price, good quality, fast shipping. Made putting the trap together very easy. Only thing I would change are the fasteners. I used the included one and it just wasn’t secure enough. Took them out and used 3″ lag bolts I had laying around. Much more secure.
