ProtectaPet® Single Cat Enclosure Gate for Turf

A single gate width is 80cm on the external frame and 74cm on the internal throughfare. If you require wheelchair or ride-on-mower access, we suggest you choose the double width gate which is 160cm external frame and 154cm on the internal throughfare.

This Cat Enclosure Gate comes with 2.3m posts so that you can dig the posts into the ground and securely concrete them in place so they are stable. If you wish, you can additionally purchase cat enclosure braces.

If you have a very determined cat who will linger by your feet when you entering and exiting the cat proof area, we'd recommend having an 'air-lock' gate. This involves separating two gates with a steel framed 'air-lock' or 'cat-lock' as we affectionally call it.

ProtectaPet cannot offer planning advice because regulations vary by area. Generally speaking, cat fencing solutions are not permanent structures and are below 2m in height. Please keep in mind that planning regulations in front gardens and in conservation areas are more restrictive. We advise you to contact your local authority for advice specific to your circumstances.

Neighbourhood cats do have the physical ability to jump into your garden from on top of your fence. However, most cats will see that there is no exit from the garden and choose not to enter. Our customers report that neighbour’s cats tend to choose not to enter their gardens because they cannot see an escape. If you are leaving your garden unsupervised while going on holiday for instance, it is a good idea to leave an escape route for any cats that might enter (a wheelie bin against the fence is a good solution).

If you have a mature garden with lots of plants, the cats will absolutely love the enrichment it offers. In order to install the fence barrier, you may need to undertake some pruning and trimming. For example, you'll generally need the top 1ft/30cm of your fence or wall to be clear of plant growth. For more detailed guidance on preparing your garden, please see our blog.
