Every Mountain BearBox bear-resistant trash enclosure is designed with purpose — from the inside out — to meet the demands of life in Lake Tahoe, Truckee, and other Northern California mountain towns. The latch mechanism isn’t off-the-shelf; it’s a custom stainless-steel design, built down to the bolt, to eliminate the weaknesses we’ve seen in other bear boxes. The fully welded, 14-gauge galvanized steel body is powder-coated, weather-resistant, and engineered for strength. Every material was chosen to deliver a product that performs as premium as it looks. No corners were cut, and no detail overlooked.
