You were lucky with the perspex then Andy, my birds actually shattered one of mine when I first put them in 😕
The trap looks good bruv, it's the same as I did for mine, it certainly made a difference to my clocking in but not necessarily my trapping lol.
Being old school I'm not sure that it's right though as some birds clock in without actually trapping which in my head defeats the object a bit, but the rules say that as long as the pad is within the loft once the loft is closed it's fine.

I think it’s allowed and changed because technically stall traps are outside and the bird is not in the loft

Looks good Andy, well done.
They'll enjoy the sunshine in there.
I want to put something like that on my loft for the winter so they can get a bit of a stretch when they are on lockdown through the winter.
