BearBarrier Home™
A permanent answer to one unsecured cart
The Home model is built for the most common Kootenay situation: one municipal cart that has to live outside because there is no garage, shed, or secure alcove to put it in.
$1,995–$2,995
CAD, installed
Base enclosure from CAD $1,495. Site preparation quoted separately.
- Locally built
- Installed in the Kootenays
- Welded steel frame
- Premium cedar finish
- Residential and commercial options
01
The problem
Bears are repeatedly accessing household waste across Kootenay neighbourhoods, and a lid strap only protects the lid.
02
The consequence
Once garbage becomes a food reward, the same bear returns, and each visit means tipped carts, scattered waste, cleanup, and a wildlife conflict that eventually ends badly for the bear.
03
The BearBarrier answer
BearBarrier Home surrounds the whole cart with a welded steel frame, a locking door, and an anchored base, so the cart cannot be tipped, dragged, or opened between collection days.
Who it is for
Built for these properties
- Homeowners storing one cart outside year-round
- Properties with no garage or secure indoor storage
