that is a nice build. my wife has been on my back since I started woodworking 4 years ago to build a trash can holder area, she wants a lid, but that would be perfect, might have to(borrow) use your design one day, hope you dont mind.
btw, I purchased a bear plant holder a decade ago, looks like your bears.
I dont have the heart to toss him, even after he lost an eye. I put him on the shed roof so he doesnt get kicked around anymore.
I really like the way you matched the fence, beautiful job. Cedar?
