Hello lovely people!
my partner and I are adding a dog to our family. Obviously they need free access to outside, so I need to make our backyard safe so our cats don’t get out and roam the streets! They would have access from the back sliding door, to a pergola, that then opens to the lawn.
We’re in a rental so there isn’t a lot of permanent stuff we can do for that.
I was thinking of building the attached, and zip tying the metal poles to the wooden fence pools. What do you think the best way to approach this would be? Also open to other suggestions 😊
Hello @cmc1
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about installing cat netting.
I propose speaking to your landlord and asking them if you can screw the small metal posts to your timber fence. Assure them that when the time comes to move, you will remove the posts and use timber filler to fill the screw holes in the fence. If they are not too keen on the idea, I propose looking at the Crescent 680 x 7.9mm Stainless Steel Cable Ties to hold the posts in place. It will be necessary to have access to the entire fence post as the cable tie needs to go all the way around the post as well as the cat net post as well.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Eric
