I try not to trap them on the roof or lawn for that reason , If you really have to ,wire a piece of ply to the bottom of your cage to take the wobble out

I wrapped the bottom and sides with hardware cloth. Keeps them from trying to steal the bait as well as prevents them from pulling grass and dirt into the trap.

An architectural roofing shingle cut to size UNDER the trap works good.

I pick up mud flaps along the highway. The rubber is about the size of a raccoon sized trap with a little to spare on the sides. I use them under traps to protect roofs and lawns. Over traps to provide shade and keep skunks quiet. Bent in a curve to use as a tunnel or to guide from a hole to the trap. Even have a couple with slots for body gripping traps. Real handy.

I use the corrugated plastic signs that you see advertising on...very light weight...can cut to the size you need...also use them as my box trap covers...cut 3 pieces to size and put 3 or 4 holes along the edges and zip tie them together...cut a hole in the top for the handle...i paint my camo colors...and they fold up for easy light weight carrying.
