What Changes in a Rare Bears Install

Every yard here started with the same problem: a fence that had given up — warped boards, rotted posts, sagging gates, or rusted mesh nobody wanted to look at anymore. What comes after is built the same way every time: concrete-set posts, graded cedar or coated steel, and a finish that holds up through a full Puget Sound winter. Drag any photo to see exactly what changed, yard by yard.

Drag the handle. Same yard, days apart.
