How it’s made…
Our enclosure boasts a robust metal construction, ensuring exceptional resilience against adverse weather conditions and potential wild animal assaults. Crafted with 14 gauge heavy-duty steel, our enclosures stand the test of time. Its exceptional “Polyarmor” oven-baked finish not only offers a high level of resistance against corrosion and graffiti but also provides unparalleled durability against various weather conditions. With a well-thought-out pitched roof design, the bear box effectively prevents the accumulation of rain and snow. Additionally, the construction incorporates top-tier heavy-duty structural pop rivet hardware, guaranteeing superior strength and rust resistance.
The Door…
Recognizing that the door often represents the vulnerable point of a bear box, we dedicated countless hours to perfecting our design. Allow us to explain the measures we have implemented to guarantee unfailing door performance:
- Our meticulously crafted “Picture Frame” single door, combined with the resilient 14-gauge black steel front panel, ensures an unparalleled level of reliability and smooth operation.
- Through the incorporation of supplementary door stabilization, we have effectively eradicated any potential flexing or door warping caused by adverse weather conditions.
- To facilitate effortless and dependable closure for humans, we have outfitted our bear box with custom zinc-plated steel slam-latches and stainless steel striker plates.
- Moreover, the inclusion of a stainless steel lower door kick plate provides an added layer of protection to ensure secure door closure.
- In order to prioritize safety, our design features an interior release latch, effectively eliminating the risk of individuals becoming trapped within the bear box, an issue commonly encountered with many other alternatives on the market.
The Mounting System…
We have invested substantial time and effort into perfecting a seamless mounting process for the garbage can enclosures, prioritizing utmost simplicity for our customers.
Our approach involves utilizing rebar-reinforced, pier-based concrete pads, meticulously engineered to offer exceptional strength. These concrete pads undergo meticulous post-hole drilling, ensuring optimal stability for the enclosures. Moreover, our enclosure is thoughtfully designed to accommodate both concrete and steel pedestal bases, providing you with versatile options.
Additionally, we proudly present the pedestal mount option, an elevated solution that takes your enclosure to new heights. This offering includes a concrete mound box accompanied by supplementary components to facilitate pedestal installation. By elevating your box 12 inches above the ground, this option addresses specific location requirements that may arise in certain cases.
The perfect options for you…
Our enclosures provide a plethora of convenient customization options tailored to your specific needs:
