Cat enclosure

[Chrissie35]

In October last year I told you of the Cat Enclosure I was wanting to build - my very first project at the age of 59 !! 

It took me a month to complete , totally on my own. 

It has , over the top , part cat max and part shadecloth so the cats can chose sun ir shade and there is also a cat door so they can come and go as they please . Thete is a full length U Zip so I can go in and out through the back if needed.  I am about to add a clear Tarp over the top so the cats can still go out there when it is raining and I will remove this again when summer returns . I have my 2 chairs out there also and enjoy sitting out there having a cuppa or reading and have lunch out there often with friends . I never sat out there in the last 20 years !! Bunnings staff were fantastic in cutting most of the wood to my measurements and also for their advice when needed . 

I am extremely happy with the result and my Cats LOVE it . 

I have added a couple of photos .

I have today , worked my butt off all day so my Cats can have an All Weather Enclosure .

I have added a Waterproof top to their Catio .

It took me all day , as once again I had to do it all on my own , but I got there , and I only had to make one trip to Bunnings .

It was made even more difficult because I didn't have access to my Neighbours side and the shed was in the way , but I completed it .

It is on an angle and slopes away from the Unit , so the rain will run away from the Unit .

My Cats , and I , can now go out into the Enclosure on a wet day and I no longer have to continuously have to keep bringing inside their beds and blankets if it is raining .

Because it is off my bedroom and the only natural light for the back of the Unit , I chose a clear cover so the light still comes through and the cats and I can still enjoy the sunshine .

Photos attached .

Well done @Chrissie35 

Always great to see people giving something a crack and improving their home. You should feel proud!

[Chrissie35]

Thank You Kermit  , that is very nice .

I have to give it a go ,as there is no one to help .

The worst that can happen is to have to try again .

The best is to try and succeed , and then that gives you the confidence to try something else .
