Maybe you can look for those folks who traps fish for a living, like those along ECP or West Coast Park. You can often see them building/mending the bubu cage traps when they're not out fishing. If you want to build it yourself, visit any hardware stores to buy large pieces of wire mesh and some wires. It shouldn't be too difficult to make one but it certainly does take time.

Maybe you can show us a picture of what you've made so far, especially on the door part.

There is no need to custom make crab cage ,crab trap from shops should work ,I think. If it doesn't work, it is because there is no crabs there :lol: or you may have placed the bait at a position where the crabs doesn't need to get in.
I used to use the bendy rattan canes type to catch crabs. There are several other types of crab traps. most doesn't have open and close door, but have a cone-shape opening that is pointing inwards.
