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:

  • Introducing the trash pick-up indicator Flag, a valuable addition that promptly notifies you when trash collection is required. This indicator can be expertly positioned on either the hinge or latch side of the box, catering to your preference.
  • Simplify the installation process and bypass any associated fees with our DIY Box installation option. Rest assured, we will furnish you with comprehensive instructions, enabling you to effortlessly set up the bear box yourself.
  • To enhance visibility and aesthetics, we offer premium 4-inch reflective stainless steel numbers. These numbers can be affixed to the box door, front face vertically, or any desired side of the enclosure, ensuring clear identification.
  • Our mounting system encompasses a versatile pedestal and cradle assembly, catering to both concrete and steel pedestal bases. This comprehensive system offers flexibility and seamless integration.
