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 .

The netting is called " Cat Net , .

If you google it , look for Catnets.com.au , Australian company , you can buy as much or as little online as needed . It is strong and needs strong cutters to cut it .

I secured it using shadecloth clips , and wire threaded through to attach it to surrounds
