Re: Cat Proofing your garden??
Cat Colditz
This is my thread about cat proofing, it cost me about £450 for parts and labour for around 35 linear metres, there was quite a lot of work chopping back shrubs and ivy but the fence itself was already 5 foot and in good condition. This is the DIY option but there are also professionally installed systems although they would work out a lot more expensive. |

Re: Cat Proofing your garden??
If you have 6 foot fencing up already then it can be done quite cheaply.
You will need some brackets for the netting so have a look at some DIY stores or have some made from a metal fabrication factory. Then we got some pond netting from a garden centre. Our pond netting was a bit limp when attached to the brackets so we threaded wire through it. So I would either get stronger stuff or wooden trellis fitted. I thing wooden trellis would cost more. Here are my pictures. It works very well and although i have a tree they have never climbed it to get over it. It also means that they have free access to the outside world and in the summer it is nice to be able to have all your doors and windows open. Hope this helps and Good Luck x

Re: Cat Proofing your garden??
We cat-proofed our garden for about £100.
We have an existing brick wall and several trees around the perimeter, so we used the tree trunks and 6ft metal garden poles attached to the wall as the verticals, and attached netting to them using cable clips in various sizes. Our cats are great climbers so at around 6-8ft we attached more netting horizontally to create a canopy. We had to chop quite a few branches off for access. The netting was very cheap (Homebase - the stuff that's on a big roll). We used millions of cable clips which cost a lot more than the netting!

Re: Cat Proofing your garden??
Just finished mine, see the new thread with videos
![]() Here is an album of the finished fence - top and bottom (don't forget you little darlings can dig...). Netting cost about £400 all told from Felisafe including a second order for extra brackets for the shed. 61 meters of netting and fixtures. Add chicken wire and about 30-40 hours work on and off for a number of months - dedicating real time and having more than one or one+half people doing it would speed things up. https://plus.google.com/photos/10430...05034216944113 |
