FWC has designed an inexpensive, bear-resistant cage that will hold
two standard-sized garbage barrels. While this cage has been field tested,
it may not stand up to the persistent efforts of all bears. The
benefits are low cost and ease of construction. You can download
building instructions.
“Please note: the gap
between the 2x4’s should be less than
½” apart instead of 2 1/8”
as described in the attached document”.
