The Eureka Sequoia Zoo Bear Grotto was the first Cantilever Wall designed and built by Hilfiker in 1982.
The design was made by then owner William K. Hilfiker, cleverly combining Hilfiker's Welded Wire Wall with a cantilever overhang system to create a gorgeous, 12-ft tall bear enclosure for the local zoo. The wall was also faced with a mortar-troweled short-crete finish.
