Premium Hardware
GuardShack Cages come with all necessary installation hardware for wet concrete installation. (Lift-Off models) or dry concrete installation (Hinged models) and for use with our pre-fab EncPad™ Enclosure Bases (where applicable).
Hardware kits come with upgraded 3/8” Forged, Hot Dipped Galvanized Eyebolts

Custom Color Options
All our enclosures are professionally powder coated to exacting standards for lasting durability, in environmentally friendly premium finishes to blend into any landscaping.
Each enclosure is cleaned using a five-part metal cleaning process and an iron phosphate solution treatment. Units are preheated before applying a 2-3 millimeter thick polyester powder conforming to A.S.T.M. Impact Resistant and Adhesive Specifications.
The GuardShack™ Series comes standard in a gloss finish of either Woodlands Tan (RAL 1019) or Forest Green (TCI 8810-6058).
GuardShack Products – Limited Warranty Policy
GuardShack Products provides a limited warranty covering original manufacturing defects on all products. This warranty is intended to ensure that each enclosure meets our quality standards at the time of production and delivery.
Covered Under Warranty
The warranty applies to defects resulting from the manufacturing process, including but not limited to:
Not Covered Under Warranty
The following conditions are not covered under this warranty:
Material Considerations
For installations in high-humidity regions, coastal environments, or areas exposed to regular water contact (such as sprinkler irrigation), stainless steel is the recommended material. Mild steel products are more susceptible to corrosion in these conditions.
As GuardShack Products distributes nationwide, we are not always aware of the final installation environment or specific application. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to select the appropriate material based on the intended use and conditions.
Warranty Process
To determine warranty eligibility, products must be returned to our facility for inspection. If a defect is confirmed to be covered under warranty, GuardShack Products will repair or replace the item at our discretion.
Due to the size and nature of our products, return shipping logistics may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
All claims must be submitted in writing within 30 days of discovery and within the applicable warranty period. The product must be returned to GuardShack’s facility in Phoenix, Arizona for evaluation.
All incidental expenses are the responsibility of the customer and are not covered under this warranty. If a defect is confirmed and determined to be covered under this Limited Warranty, GuardShack™ will cover the cost of return shipping.
If the issue is found not to be covered, all return shipping costs will be the responsibility of the customer.
Additional Notes
While additional coatings, such as primer combined with powder coating, can improve resistance to corrosion, no coating system can guarantee complete prevention of rust over time in harsh environments.
GuardShack Products is committed to delivering durable, high-quality enclosures and working with customers to reach fair and practical solutions when concerns arise.
A wide array of premium custom colors are available for most any of our custom enclosures. These 2 step finishes are all professionally applied with a primer and a powder coat color for long lasting durability. Blend in, or to stand out, the choice is yours.
When you want to leave an enclosure in place but occasionally need top or side access, we can install hinged doors in the cage. These can be designed to swing out or up and usually have handles and locking points on the doors. This is particularly useful when a cage is very large and removing it is more difficult.
Dual Locking Enclosure. This was made for a property management company who wished to have two unique and separate locks on the cage. One for the Maintenance Manager and one for the property owner. It has a hinged gate and hinged body allowing for the entire cage to open and is shown on a setter which is installed directly into wet concrete.
Custom colors can help identify your valves purpose or be chosen to compliment and blend in with your building. This enclosure has been powder coated purple to alert that this valve is used for Reclaimed Water. We can of course, customize your enclosure to almost any color imaginable.
Solar Panel Protection. This large enclosure was constructed to protect a customer’s solar paneled equipment. The amount of light able to pass through the enclosure to the solar panels was an important concern. We used 2”x 2” open wire instead of standard expanded metal to allow light inside, mostly unobstructed.
Sometimes an asset you wish to cover is to close to the building’s wall to allow a standard rounded enclosure to be installed. Wall enclosures have no backside and are designed to install up flush to the wall. They usually have locking points that mount into a concrete pad poured on the ground though they can be attached to the wall itself also if needed. Custom cut outs can of course be added to these as well. If a large wall enclosure is needed we can also install hinges on the front side to mitigate the weight of removing the enclosure for service.
We are always happy to design and quote a new custom cage for you! Once you have told us about the asset you intend to secure and have given us the dimensions, special requirements or other specs, we will draw up a CAD drawing of the custom cage.
The CAD drawing will list all pertinent information such as dimensions, color, cut outs or other special features for your approval.
This will help you visualize what we are proposing so we are both on the same page. All Custom enclosure require a signed approval before construction is begins
Sometimes there is no such thing as a standard backflow assembly install. If our standard sizes do not fit your needs we can build you a custom size or featured FrostGuard Blanket. Please fill out our Custom Enclosure Quote form and we will get back to you with a quote.
The EncPad™ Enclosure Base is the fastest and most efficient way to install our most popular Security Enclosure models.
Help supports the weight of the gate valves and relieve pressure on the ductile iron 90’s.
Sudden cold snaps that can occur in early winter or late spring with our FrostGuard™ Insulated blankets.
