Our two rescue cats are gradually realizing how much they enjoy the fresh air and fun their 11'8" Premium Portable Catio affords. It took perhaps three (always supervised) sessions - building up from half an hour to an hour to an afternoon of nearby gardening for Luna and Sadie to realize this isn't a "time out" it's "time outside!" We've not yet had a chance to install more than basic scratching posts and pads, a large natural log and a sun-chair that helps us keep them company, but even so, we feel their lives are already greatly enriched by feeling the grass between their toe-beans and the wind tickling their noses. So why is this review titled Hissy Fit? Because the path to Joy was initially fraught with the inadequate paper instructions that came with this catio kit. Also, it really does take two people to set up this 11'8" structure - as the (very excellent) netting does tend to velcro itself to itself and the (necessarily stiff and sturdy) poles can be difficult for one person to connect unless a second pair of hands helps ensure they are lined up correctly in their protective sleeves. I will no doubt upgrade this wonderful catio's rating to 5 stars if/when Catnetting posts a professional, clear and useable assembly tutorial video at Youtube. Until then and even so, our family does indeed say thank you for this Four Stars experience and a very excellent investment in the quality of our feline family member's lives.
I bought 20m to start, then extended the catio, then bought 10m more. Awesome and tough. Our two cats now have the Penthouse, Mojo's maze, Jack's Shack and the Boys Basement.
I bought two hammock for my friend's cats, they love it but are very scared of going on it if there's no blanket on it. It's very great quality and descent size for big cats, fast delivery and everything necessary to set it up. Top notch.
My cat loves it, gets outdoor time and we don’t have to watch him. Win win
It’s so good we’ve even caught another neighbouring cat try it out
I bought one of the freestanding cat enclosesures and need an easy way to connect it the cat flap in my patio sliding door, this worked very well , only thing is cats preferred something solid underneath, so we put a few bricks under it and some synthetic grass mat in it, so it works great now, was a bit hard connecting to the cat flap but found a way, it is a great addition and saved having to make up something ourselves, very quick and efficient delivery as well. Recommend.
We have sliding doors from our living room out onto a back deck and we like to have those doors open during the warm months to let a breeze pass through. Since getting cats last fall, we've had to keep the doors shut because the retractable screen doesn't keep them safely inside. We bought the "Complete Wall Net with F-Zipper" plus a bunch of DIY install gear to create a netting wall around the top of the stairs from the deck down to the back yard. Our cats can now freely roam the back deck, and we get to have a breeze through the house. The cats love their newfound freedom, we love the fresh air, and the built-in zipper door has already served its purpose, too.
Install was pretty easy. It took about 8-10 hours across a couple of days, but I made a few mistakes along the way that took extra time to correct.
All in all, we're super happy.
Netting arrived promptly and looks very good-cant see how how the cats will get through it but it looks good too
Bought the huge enclosure for our babies. They love it. We put a tarp to protect them from weather. This is the 2nd time I’ve purchased. Bought smaller one previously. If you want to give your kitties outdoor safe fun, highly recommend these.
Great system, the calculator worked a treat, the little how to videos were helpful and I now have three very happy cats !
I have used cat netting in my large outdoors chicken enclosure to divide the enclosure into different areas. The netting is tough and durable. The black colour means that it does not stand out visually.
Had originally bought the DIY zipper kit which I found very difficult/time consuming to install. The EASY FIT zipper was SO much easier to install. I highly recommend this type of zipper. It has finished off the cat run and enabled the easy access that is required to this section of the yard.
Catnets’ net-by-the‑metre is basically the DIY superhero of cat enclosures!! Tough enough to stop your furry escape artist, light enough that you barely see it, and easy to cut without turning into a frayed spaghetti disaster. Your cat gets adventure; you get peace of mind. Everybody wins 🥳🥳

Once again Cat Nets has provided the options for an easy build for a temporary enclosure while we live in a short term rental.
We will use the product again when we move in to our permanent home
This purchase has been perfect, we have a caravan & travel lots so needed a easy to put up/take down enclosure and this is so easy & so quick for travelling folk like us with 3 cats needing outside time. Thankyou.
I cant thank Cat Net again for saving our sanity! Our cats were desperate to experience outside but living in the mountains it wasnt safe! Our enclosure has not only saved them from harm or harm to wildlife, but its made them so much happier when they do come back indoors! The enclosure is secure & easy to set up & move around.
Thank you so much
Catnets beats all of the alternative options! Cannot speak more highly about how this product works to keep my cats safe and secure in their enclosure!
Very happy with the cat netting. I’ve now installed 2 enclosures for my 3 furbabies. Incredibly easy to install, blends in to the sky and creates a safe space for the cats to enjoy the outdoors while protecting the wildlife. Thank you Catnets for a great product!
Absolutely thrilled with these products! We used the Stainless Reinforced Premium Cat Netting, Complete Wall Net with F-Zipper and hardware, and the Angled Fence Extension Brackets to transform the side of our house into a secure catio for our cats.
The instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the whole setup process surprisingly simple. Every product feels high quality, sturdy, and well designed, giving us confidence that our cats are safe and secure.
The finished catio looks fantastic and, most importantly, our cats absolutely love having the extra outdoor space to explore, relax, and enjoy safely. These products have truly allowed our cats to experience the outdoors in a secure and enriching way. Highly recommend for any cat owner wanting to create a safe outdoor area for their pets!
These nets are made of quality material, there’s nothing that could get in or out, yet it serves as a perfect bridge to the outside world.
I used the netting to complete a window area around a wooden frame that I installed a cat door in. The mesh hole size is suitable for some airflow but strong enough to stand up against the cats pawing at it and after a while, they’ve started to ignore it altogether. It’s almost unnoticeable and I can still get a view of my deck without needing to install a fully covered partition in the frame. I’ve tried different “cat-proof” branded mesh material and been disappointed with the results after my little ones ended up finding a way to rip it apart. I feel confident that I can leave the setup as is and know my cats have access to the outdoors without the risk of escaping. I felt the price was also very reasonable.
Beautiful curvy cardboard cat scratcher, that my cat loves.
It comes as two pieces in one.
Decent height off the ground that my cat enjoys and both have a nice curve that is on a nice angle for my cat to scratch and also lounge on for hours.
And the bonus is that the design and colour of the side panels is aesthetically pleasing in our house.
Worth the premium price point.
Great work!
We purchased this to have on our lawn for three foster kittens so they can be outside for a few hours. It’s absolutely perfect .
We needed a smaller version of the catio we had and we decided to try your product. It was fairly easy to install. Would like to upload a photo if I can find the link!
