For Fabrication Friday, we're flashing back to late last year, when we did a redesign on our sliding door mechanism. Oh, how far we've come!

With CanShed's signature hinging tops, users get easy access to cart lids. Smooth and quiet gas pistons keep them up, and industrial latches keep them closed. More on our design: https://www.canshed.us.com/design

The problem surrounding bears and human trash extends beyond black bears and grizzly bears; now, it's the latest threat to the Arctic's polar bears. Via Inverse:

Wood, plastics, and metal have all been found in dead polar bears’ stomachs. But there is a solution.

We're rewinding to our June meetings with key Colorado community stakeholders to discuss best practices and brainstorm creative ways the Colorado Parks and Wildlife grant funds could be used to minimize human interactions with bears. And a big congrats to all the grant recipients!

On a recent Facebook ad, a picture of our product sparked a conversation: about chicken coops! And we're embracing the creativity. People's inventive use of a bear-proof enclosure opens the door to lots of opportunities. Thinking of using a CanShed for a purpose other than trash carts? We're all ears. Contact us to discuss what you have in mind. https://www.canshed.us.com/contact-us

Late last month, Governor Jared Polis announced the grant recipients for the Colorado Parks and Wildlife's Human-Bear Conflict Reduction Community Grant Program! Here in Colorado, state and local governments recognize the seriousness of the human-bear conflict issue—and we're happy to see that they're putting their money where their mouth is. CanShed supports the state's serious stance: from day one, we've said that our product is a viable solution that helps protect your family (and bears!) by securing trash carts from wind and wildlife.
