Setup and put-away of the BEAR system takes about 15 minutes each. It's probably not the best solution if you're wanting to move it in and out daily. Alternatively, if you just have to move it once every few weeks, seasonally or never BEAR is a great solution delivering unmatched durability and performance versus cheaper plastic portables.
To easily move the BEAR system, remove about half of the concrete blocks in the weight box to balance the system. Adjust BEAR to its lowest point and then pull on the rim to tip it back on the large turf tires. Now, like a dolly, you have complete freedom of movement. Watch BEAR in action
We recommend two adults to complete a move although it can be done with one if there isn't much of a grade.
Yes, about half of the time that's exactly where BEAR is used. We have an indoor version (standard) and an outdoor version (Rust Armor). You can choose the version when ordering.
Consider in-ground If BEAR's footprint is a littler larger than you want, consider an in-ground system which has a much smaller footprint and can moved by simply unbolting it from the concrete footer and then installing a new footer in a new location.
