hi chillminx! thankyou he loves it-i have to drag him in at 11:0pm every night as he wont come in other wise,he sits on the highest step patrolling his territory from oncoming tom cat attacks,he seems to have partaken to the hobby of mosquito batting/eating as well,im glad about that they keep coming in and biting me.

ive added a photo of him in the previous post while chilling on his high step,but i will do a full shot of the run tomorow when its brighter.
my dad did a fantastic job.

Awesome! I had to do my own one, (single mum with limited did skills!!) would like a better roof at some point but fairly happy with it!

B&Q do a corrugated plastic roof which i dont think is very expensive- i could ask my dad if you wanted to know,nothing wrong with home made,and you clearly have some good skills there if you managed a run yourself.

Thanks! I would like to change to the corregated plastic when I have some spare cash, I,m currently using a bite resistant cat net but I like the idea of a better roof as I would sit outside with him if raining but not cold!! I,lol try and take a picture of my attempt tomorrow for you to see.

Sorry for delay, finally remembered to take a photo of my catio efforts for you to see... especially appreciate the sign I put on it!!!

Hey everyone,

As promised I have got before and after pictures of the cat fencing I had installed by Sanctuary SOS today. I was very impressed with how they worked and the outcome of the work!! Grant and 2 men arrived at around 8.30am and had everthing done by 2pm and my garden was no easy task!! I am so happy I can now sit and relax in the garden without worrying about the cats escaping The boys have been out in the garden all afternoon having fun!

So these are the before pictures (garden is still a work in progress btw!):

And these are the after pictures:

@MrShadow and @Jam d

Really love the cat enclosures! They are fantastic!

@AFKMatrix I'm envious of the cat proofing

But what's Little H doing in your back garden lol!!!

Seriously these are all great!

 

[AFKMatrix]

Ahhh Little H came round to give the fencing a good going over ha. It's amazing how your Little H and my Shadow are so similar in colour. His brother Kahn is the same colouring and you'd have difficulty telling them apart. Although Kahn is the very well groomed one and Shadow is my little rag a muffin. I swear I can brush him and make him look fantastic then 5 mins later his hair is all over the place lol.

Shadow is actually loving being out in the garden when it's dark, Kahn not so much but he is a timid boy. But its great knowing they are safe out there

I really need to organise some cat proofing even Candycrush Saga can't stave off the boredom taking Jango for his evening stroll (OK stand around a lot) in the garden. I was looking at my phone in the dark, looked up as he'd decided to suddenly move my eyes had ajusted to the light of phone and I couldn't see a thing I nearly fell into the ****. It's only going to get worse as the winter comes lol

Cats are scared of Vacuum cleaner? Not if they are Deaff))))))

Could anybody recommend a firm to either supply and fit or just supply a lean to catio in the East Midlands area please?

Little advice please .. What gauge mesh do I need for an enclosure which wouwo be strong enough for Maine Coons... Also where is the best place to get it? Thanks

I've got 1" , 16 gage mesh on my run. My cat is a 5.5kg DSH but I imagine that it would be strong enough for a Maine Coon. Unfortunately, I don't know where the wire came from as my run was professionally made.

Good luck, I'm sure that your cats will appreciate being able to go outside safely.

 

[1247814]

So now that my patio is finished I am able to go ahead and plan my enclosure.

I am wanting it to be 16' * 6' (The 16' is just shy of the width of my house ) and I am having a polycarbonate roof (not corrugated plastic) and I would like guttering fitted with the downpipe fed into a water butt.

Does anyone have guttering fitted to their enclosure and if so do you have any photos?

Hey everyone, I’m wondering the average cost in the uk for a small DIY catio!?! I’m thinking maybe 15/20ft sq? I don’t know, hard to imagine what size could be do-able. I must measure it up properly. But I’m looking for guesstimates. Thinking I’m going to ask for all my family to pitch in for my birthday and build the kitties a catio! U would SOOOOO love one for them.
