Let's talk Catios!
 

All of our Catios are built from Grade A Cedar wood. Cedar is strong and durable, thrives in damp climates, and has a high moisture resistance. Natural oils in the wood keep it from rotting and decaying. It also works as an insect repellent while giving your catio a fresh cedar smell.  Cedar will give your Catio a long life expectancy of 30 years or longer.

 

When it comes to purchasing Cedar wood, we are definitely picky. Beautiful grain and straight boards are what we look for. We hand-pick through almost every piece of lumber that is used on our Catios!

Paint and Stain
 

You can choose to keep your Catio natural, paint it to match your house, or stain it.  We offer stain, water sealant, and paint for all options. Standing with our high expectations of fine material we always use high grade pet safe exterior stain and paint. If left natural cedar will gray over time. This isn't a structural issue but will change the aesthetics of your Catio. We do recommend at least using a clear sealer to prolong the life of your Catio.

Fencing

There are many options when it comes to fencing, and all of them are cat-friendly! While we are open to your suggestions, these are our most used options that have been tested and approved by cats and their owners.

Here are our top recommendations:

In areas with wildlife such as coyotes, raccoons, etc., it is recommended to use a 16 gauge or heavier mesh.

For homes where kittens are going to have access to the catio we highly recommend using a 1"x1" or smaller opening mesh.

 

To prevent small bugs and mosquitoes from entering the catio, a pet screen can be added on top of the mesh.

  • Durable and long-lasting

  • Resists damage by pets, wind, and weather and is 7-Times stronger than regular insect screening.

Roofing

Polycarbonate

  • Virtually unbreakable.

  • Long term weather resistant.

  • Sunlight resistant, won't discolor under the sun.

  • Lightweight.

  • Variety of colors.

  • This comes in either corrugated or flat multiwall options.


Corrugated Metal

  • Ideal for protection against wind, heat, humidity, and water.

  • Made from durable galvanized steel.

  • Will not rust.

  • Long lasting.

  • Provides a rustic look.

  • Recommended in areas where heavy debris may fall on the catio, such as large tree branches.

 

Mesh Panel

  • Most affordable option.

  • This option is great in areas that are already covered or in circumstances where the catio does not need to be protected from rain.

Flooring

  • Decking, we can either build on an existing deck or build a new deck for the Catio.

  • Keeping your natural grass is a great affordable option that the cats will love. (This option may bring mud into the home and will require regular maintenance).

  • We also offer laying down pet turf. We use a high grade artificial turf. This provides a soft comfortable floor for you and the cats to enjoy. Easy clean up, no mud, resistant to pet accidents due to drainage, and easy to replace if needed. Turf is a great option.

  • As an alternative, we recommend using either river pebble or pavers on flat ground.

  • We also can build on existing concrete pads/pavers which provides security and usually a fairly level working space. 

  • We can add plastic interlocking tiles, which helps keeps the paws of our lucky catsomers clean, warm and comfortable.
